Abstract
The polarization of the CMB offers a potentially valuable probe of the physics of the early universe, specifically of the velocity of the photon-baryon fluid on the last scattering surface. Here we discuss qualitatively the correlations that arise between the temperature anisotropies and polarization of the CMB and how they might be observed.
