Most people are right-handed. The go through life using their right hands for most actions-writing, eating, picking up things and putting them down. But to be a left-handed person does not mean failure in life or the business world. For that matter, many of the world’s great men have been left-handed: Charlemagne, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Alexander the Great. But in summarizing the evidence concerning handedness, it seems safe to say that we know more about “cure” than cause. It is fairly certain that handedness is related neurologically to the brain; hence the easy phrase, “cerebral dominance”. But no one knows exactly how cerebral dominance works or even, certainly, whether it exists. So until further research is done, perhaps we should at this time respect if not agree with the sad conclusions of one authority, who says that “the problem is wholly beyond our reach, and the ingenious theories only demonstrate man’s fondness for speculation.”

A good deal has been written about the values of owning a foreign car, but few people have given much thought to the realities of such ownership. Advertisers bombard us with facts about “fabulous gas mileage,” but miles-per-gallon ( so far as expense is concerned) is the least important thing to an owner of a foreign car. Of greater importance, since it eats into his mileage “savings” is the high initial cost of an import which is often four or five hundred dollars more than that of cheaper American makes. More important still is, the fact that parts and repair often cost so much that the import owner finds himself spending more on his car than the owner of much bigger American automobile.
