Although not within the last 10 years, I know that a great many people feel that Rosalind Franklin should have shared the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the structure of DNA. Watson's book on the discovery - "The Double Helix" - is a very candid, inside look at how the existence of such a prize can affect the nature of scientific research - not to mention the careers of scientists themselves - in both positive and negative ways. ------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Langton Center for Nonlinear Studies phone: 505-665-0059 MS-B258 email: cgl@LANL.GOV Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545
