...feel warm and fuzzy inside. Giving blood isn't exactly a fundamental right. (I double checked the constitution to be sure.) Let's just hope that no one convinces the administration to throw the Red Cross off campus because of this.

When leaflets drifted down from U.S. planes announcing the war's end, Yokoi suspected foul play on the part of the Allies. Counting the years by the cycles of the moon and crafting clothing from tree-bark fibers, Yokoi honored his pledge never to surrender. Two hunters who stumbled upon him in 1972 passed on the news of Japan's defeat...
