I learned at least one thing from Watson; in The Double Helix he refers to Crick’s “emancipation from the dullness of his Northampton upbringing.” I’m from the same town (and same high school), but when I was growing up nobody ever mentioned Crick and probably very few people were aware of his work.

It was ever thus. I recall a conversation with my grandfather some 50 years ago when I was a kid in England. He commented that his friend’s son (who he had known since childhood) had grown into a big strong man who joined the police because it provided an opportunity to beat up other people.
