Leftists, er, lefties, unite! Lefties appear in force across the country today (Aug. 13) to celebrate International Lefthanders Day. You can spot them sporting ''Left On!'' buttons.

The ''Bill of Lefts'' they are promoting establishes, among other things, their right to ''be guaranteed the freedom to practice and enjoy their hand preference without influence from parents, teachers, or peers.''
