...were in some ways an odd pair. The British Crick, at 35, still had no Ph.D. The American Watson, 12 years Crick's junior, had graduated from the University of Chicago at 19 and nabbed his doctorate at 22. But they shared a certain wanderlust, an indifference to boundaries. Crick had migrated from physics into chemistry and biology, fascinated by the line "between the living and the nonliving."

As for the new Other Ones, Hornsby's piano and Ellis' sax add jazzy warmth...
...Mitchell, once an icon of independence and 1960s wanderlust, the little girl who was to be her only child never quite left her mind. Over the years, as her fame grew, she wondered about the child's parents, her health, her future. It was not until a Canadian tabloid published the story of her adoption four years ago that Mitchell began speaking openly about it. But she was besieged by pretenders and began to lose hope...
