6. I agree...I was shocked to see that someone who clearly has such a great scientific mind could also
be such a clueless racist. But then again, it proves that someones position and intelligence doesn't eliminate racism.

I was just struck by the way its positioned on the Fox and CNN pages. The headlines don't say "1962 Nobel winner Watson" - I believe that they are purposely left vague. And I've been seeing throughout the media over the last week the minimalizing of the win of the Nobel by Gore. This was just one more effort. And it doesn't mean the story about Watson isn't relevant, but like I said, its very subtle what else is being done.
