Researchers dug up old NASA memos warning of just the kind of accident that...
...third, Julie B. Goldman ’05, shows a different approach to winter wear. She is shown here wearing a tan coat, but with a swatch of leopard print on the collar to keep things interesting ($35). Julie also models an outfit for those days when you simply need to tell Mother Nature to shove it – a deep black coat ($30) offset by bright purple gloves ($2) and a snowflake patterned sweat from...
