The End Of An Era

Francis Crick, who co-discovered DNA double-helix structure, died today.

What was on his mind when Watson and he submitted their paper to Nature?

Did they think:"Gee, this must be it! We are going to change the world! Human cloning will be possible because of us! Champagne!"

Or simply:"Gee, proof-reading is killing me! Let's just submit it as it is and hope the editor will like it!"

Either way, I admire them.
