...past four decades, Japan has been showing the world how to take technological innovation and turn it into gold. Examples abound: the transistor radio, the color television, the portable cassette player, the videocassette recorder.

Maria Padilla '96 of Leverett House suggests warming up by "sleeping with someone who retains a lot of heat." For those of us not so fortunate, many other creative ways to stay warm abound. For example, Padilla recalled a "pseudo-sleepover" in Leverett House where "everyone brought his or her own space heater and electric blanket" in order to maximize minimal and precious heat...
