Which hand do you write with?

There seem to be many left-handed people in our Writing class. That's unusual. Left-handedness has links to language-learning, intelligence, and creativity. Many Nobel Prize-winners, writers, and artists are left-handed. For unknown reasons, more than half of recent U.S. Presidents and presidential candidates were left-handed!

James A. Garfield (1831-1881) 20th
Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) 31st
Harry S. Truman (1884-1972) 33rd
Gerald Ford (1913-2006) 38th
