They may only make up 10 percent of the population, but it’s become clear that lefties have the advantage in at least one important area: politics. No less than six American presidents out of 13 since The Second World War were left-handedthus helping to fuel speculation that left-handers may have a greater aptitude for language skills, which would help them communicate better (and win more votes).

Mohamed Malim pulls the bright orange lining of a life jacket from a large box, recently shipped from Greece to Minnesota. This one has “CARIBBEAN GALAXI” printed in faded capital letters.

Malim sorts them by color, taking care not to remove traces of wear. He needs them for what he…
