BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) - Republican Sen. John McCain said Monday he had had a small patch of skin removed from his face and biopsied as part of a regular checkup with his dermatologist.

The Arizona senator underwent the procedure in Phoenix during a checkup he undergoes every three months. He sported a small bandage on his upper right cheek on his campaign plane but had removed it by the time he spoke with reporters. A small, dark spot stood out on his face.
McCain urged people to stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen, particularly during the summer.
``If you ever have any slight discoloration please go to your dermatologist or your doctor and get it checked out as soon as possible,’’ he said.
AP IMPACT: Buried treasure, hidden for decades along border, a mystery for investigators
WASHINGTON (AP) _ The businessman arrived at the Treasury Department carrying a suitcase stuffed with about $5.2 million. The bills were decomposing, nearly unrecognizable, and he asked to swap them for a cashier’s check. He said the money came from Mexico.
Money like this normally arrives in an armored truck or insured shipping container after a bank burns or a vault floods. It doesn’t just show up at the visitor’s entrance on a Tuesday morning. But the banking habits of Franz Felhaber had stopped making sense to the government long ago.
For the past few years, authorities say, he and his family have popped in and out of U.S. banks, looking to change about $20 million in buried treasure for clean cash.
The money is always the same _ decaying $100 bills from the 1970s and 1980s.
It’s the story that keeps changing.
