Mark Twain supposedly said:  "History does not repeat itself, but it does
rhyme." I agree. Things are never quite the same.

The quote from Watson is hysterical. His book, *The Double Helix*, is
hysterical. My edition from Norton has the journal reviews in the back,
published when the book first came out. The reviews were by scientists who
were outraged -- outraged! -- because Watson told the truth about how
science is done. As I said, he also described himself as a lazy young man
more into goofing off and chasing women than working.
