This is apparent in the pell-mell rush to publish results of experiments-some of them later proved faulty-in scientific journals just to establish priority of discovery. In his unusually candid book The Double Helix, Nobel Prizewinner James Watson confessed to another questionable practice. Determined to unravel the complex structure of the DNA molecule before Caltech's famed chemist Linus Pauling...
