Hands, "the right bower of the mind." Here are some hands that have brought fame or fortune or both to their owners. Left to right, above, the hands of Jascha Heifetz, delicate and sensitive as they draw sweet strains from the violin; the musical hands of Vladimir Horowitz, capable of interpreting on the piano the most delicate melody, and the mighty fist of Jim Braddock, which won him the world's heavyweight boxing championship. Below, the deft hands of Helen Wills Moody, which handled the tennis racquet with such skill that she became the champion woman tennis player of the world; the eloquent hands of Katherine Cornell, which speak her emotions on the stage, and the powerful gripping hands of Jimmy Foxx, Boston's home-run hitting slugger.
