A new AIGA Voice column from Ralph Caplan is just up: "After World War II an industrial designer named Thomas Lamb devoted himself to studying and drawing the human hand, and became a prized consultant to manufacturers of luggage, knives and anything else requiring handles. But to him, as to me and I guess to most of us, the hand was a limited concept. I thought of the hand as an organ starting at the wrist and ending with fingers of five different lengths. That is distressingly superficial, when you come to think of it, but I never had." Nobody turns a phrase better.
