...recently sought out Lefkowitz for an interview, and found him circling around the pool table, lips pursed in concentration, examining every angle, analyzing every prospective shot. "I approach things analytically," he said. "A question exists; you search for the answer. That's the way I approach the violin, too. If you're not getting the proper sound projecting--there are always ways of improving. It's actually very scientific...

Watson, professor of Molecular Biology, offered further incentive for dumping on the kid, pressing Dressler to "stop working on this at once and turn your attention to something else." Of course, Watson was no impartial observer. He, Dressler and others were working from the same pool of National Institute of Health and American Cancer Society grants, and he himself had sponsored the articles in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, America's equivalent of the Royal Society. Watson's New York friends, he admitted, had caught wind of "another Sloan-Kettering affair" (an April...
