James Watson exhibits signs of Alzheimer's

No joke. I really hope that these remarks insisting that blacks are less intelligent than whites are proof that his mind is going. The alternative is too vile to contemplate.

mmm. is this not the same Watson from Watson & Crick, who largely took credit for the work of his female research compagnion and forgot to mention her in the publications?

Or was she JUST an assistant?

If you mean Rosalind Franklin, who experimentally determined the structure of DNA, and whose colleage shared her data (without her knowledge or permission) with Watson and Crick at another facility which gave them a valuable clue in solving another part of the structure, yes.

(Sorry, that was a dreadful run on sentence.)
