"When Obama first moved to New York in 1981 as a junior at Columbia, he lived in an apartment on West 109th Street. Since the heat didn’t work, the apartment was freezing and Obama and his roommate were sleeping in sleeping bags to stay warm. To stay warm, they eventually resorted to camping out at Columbia’s Butler Library, which was open all night." --Ben Jacobs in the Huffington Post excerpting from the forthcoming David Maraniss biography of the President. But good luck getting cheap breakfast at Tom's any more. Also, he read INVISIBLE MAN a lot. And did the crossword over coffee Sundays, as you do.
