Lefties are ‘prone to inhibition and anxiety’

“Right-handers tend to jump in a bit,” New Scientist quoted the expert, as saying.

Donald Trump gets go-ahead for luxury golf resort in Scotland

London (dpa) - US tycoon Donald Trump Monday won a long and acrimonious battle over plans to build a luxury golf course, hotel complex and apartments in Scotland, leaving local residents and environmental groups the disappointed losers.
