DescriptionToday, only about one in 10 American males is left-handed, but when Barack Obama took the oath of office Tuesday by raising his non-preferred hand, he was the third southpaw among the last four presidents.

This should be no cause for concern for American righties. Indeed, it is likely that the small, left-handed minority - which perseveres against righteous prejudice, taboos, social pressures, and a hostile physical world - is better equipped to run the nation than right-handers.
