While discussing brain lateralization in intro class, a student indicated that President Garfield was able to simultaneously write Greek with one hand and Latin with the other. My first response was this was a Presidental legend or just funny things presidents do, of which there are many. She persisted. A PsychInfo search on president's brains came up empty. Is it possible that a brain, let alone a president's brain, could be that undifferentiated? Sort of a late Friday type of question, but serious. Tom Hershberger Chatham College
