mitten

On a sweltering evening in the thumb pad of Michigan’s mitten, a self-described prophet promised 700 Christians under a crisp white tent that they were about to cheat death.

What may be surprising, though, is where the Mitten’s locus of power seems to emanate from these days—as well as the types of Michiganders who are gaining national attention and power as a result.

In molecules, chirality can make biological or chemical units exist in two versions that cannot be perfectly matched, as in a left and right mitten.

They can mirror each other precisely, but a left mitten will never fit the right hand as well as it fits the left hand.

“Busier than a moth in a mitten!”
