...story might have ended there, except for two things. First, Motichka, who specialized in nude self-portraits, continued to take them; she became a symbol of the disfiguring effects of breast surgery, and a photo of her scarred chest wound up on the cover of the New York Times Magazine. Second, it turned out that the surgery she so vividly publicized may not have been necessary. Her tumor, she believes, could have been handled by a much simpler procedure that would have left her breast intact. Late last month a New York jury agreed, awarding Motichka $2.2 million...

A day later, a fine bartender murmured something about time changing for the reason his club wasn t booming. So back we wound, without even a thought.

Second, and perhaps more important, it was easier for the admiring public to comprehend the deductive insight of a single individual than the technical feats of a team of scientists...
...reviews from the (relatively) genteel Crick. He didn't recall anyone mentioning a Nobel Prize. "My impression was that we were just, you know, mad keen to solve the problem," he later said. But whatever their aims, Watson and Crick shared an attraction to DNA, and when they wound up in the same University of Cambridge lab, they bonded...
