Called the "Sage" by fellow British scientists because of his encyclopedic knowledge, Bernal infuriated them with one of his favorite theories: "In capitalist countries, the direction of science is in the hands of those who hate peace." Nonetheless, they recognized the greatness of Bernal's own contributions to science, including experiments with crystals in the 1920s and '30s that helped lay the groundwork for molecular biology. When Sir John Anderson, Home Secretary at the outbreak of World War II, was criticized for hiring...
