McCain's health good, no cancer recurrence
Republican presidential candidate John McCain is in good health and has had no recent recurrence of skin cancer, according to medical records released on Friday.
The Arizona senator, who turns 72 in August and would be the oldest elected first-term president if he wins the November election, "enjoys excellent health and displays extraordinary energy," said his physician, Dr. John Eckstein.
"I can find no medical reason or problems that would preclude Senator McCain from fulfilling all the duties and obligations of president of the United States," he said in a statement.
McCain's health records were made available to be viewed by a small group of reporters in Arizona in an effort to put to rest lingering questions about his health and ability to handle the rigors of the presidency.

At Speech, Clinton Reminded That She Was From Scranton Two Weeks Ago
As anyone who has read Hillary Clinton's biography knows, she was born and raised in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, New York, Wellesley, Crown Royal, and Bluecollaristan. It must be hard to keep track of, but it's getting easier thanks to supporters like the guy in the crowd of her post-primary speech tonight, who, after Clinton took a few minutes talking about how she grew up in Illinois, remembered where she said she grew up two weeks ago and yelled, "Scranton!"
"And originally from Scranton, PA, that's right!" Hillary yelled back . . . As anyone who has read Hillary Clinton's biography knows, she was born and raised in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvani... more -
Colleges allow coed dorm rooms
Erik Youngdahl and Michelle Garcia share a dorm room at Connecticut's Wesleyan University. But they say there's no funny business going on. Really. They mean it.
They have set up their beds side-by-side like Lucy and Ricky in "I Love Lucy," and avert their eyes when one of them is changing clothes.
"People are shocked to hear that it's happening and even that it's possible," said Youngdahl, a 20-year-old sophomore. But "once you actually live in it, it doesn't actually turn into a big deal."
In the prim 1950s, college dorms were off-limits to members of the opposite sex. Then came the 1970s, when male and female students started crossing paths in coed dormitories. Now, to the astonishment of some Baby Boomer parents, a growing number of colleges are going even further: coed rooms.
At least two dozen schools, including Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, Oberlin College, Clark University and the California Institute of Technology, allow some or all students to share a room with anyone they choose — including someone of the opposite sex. This spring, as students sign up for next year's room, more schools are following suit, including Stanford University.
