From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 30, 1989:

• A front-page article in today’s Journal-World reviewed the beliefs and behaviors of a group of local sunbathers. In light of warnings about hazards of overexposure to the sun’s rays, most of them seemed not too concerned. “It’s probably very true that we should be aware of how much sun we get, but I don’t know a lot of people with skin cancer,” said Suzanne Lafex, Lawrence, who was catching some rays at Lone Star Lake. “It’s probably not bad for you in moderation,” said fellow sunbather Tom Archer, Lawrence. “I feel good when I have a tan, and it’s free. How many things do you know of that are free?” Local dermatologist Lee Bittenbender countered this with the facts about overexposure and advised people to exercise moderation and use sunscreen. He added that today’s idea that a tanned body was a healthy one was out of line with his profession’s school of thought. “The phrase, ‘a healthy tan,’ makes no sense,” Bittenbender said, pointing out that a tan was actually the visual evidence of damaged skin. Back out at the lake, Lefax waffled on the sunscreen question. “Sometimes I think I should be wearing some kind of sunscreen, but I don’t usually use one,” she said. “It’s a hassle to put it on then get in the water and have to put this greasy stuff all over you.”
• Federal officials expressed fears today that new photocopying technology would make it easier for counterfeiters. John P. McCoy, who had been convicted the previous week in an operation that had produced $800,000 of U.S. and Canadian currency, had performed the task with a Canon color laser copier. It was one of the first, if not the first case of the newer color copiers being used to counterfeit money, according to Hunter Howerton, a Secret Service agent. “At one time, counterfeiting was very specialized. It was like an art,” Howerton said. “Printing used to be a very respected tradition…. Now, all you have to be able to do is press a button.”
