Okay, here are some first reflections on Watson.
Watson's life is a tragedy, really of Shakespearean proportions. He did not, as most bios will tell you, do one great thing when he was young and then collect laurels for it for the next 60 years. His career arc was unlike any in science.

James D. Watson is dead. Stay tuned for some thoughts, based on my research on his biography, to be published soon.
While I write that up, y'all can throw tomatoes at this if you like. But I will offer a more nuanced take.

One I missed because I didn't know it existed until after the book was finished – a B&W scan of the cover of Nature marking the 'coming of age' (ie 21st anniversary) of the double helix. I am trying to find a colour image of the original (most libraries stripped off the covers when binding...)
