Runyon, for his part, had a contemptuous regard for Mr. Watson.

Not long after Colonel Van Hamm had foisted me on the Watson staff I received a salary raise and a contract on the Hetman's recommendation.

Watson had presented his pouch and been led to the bombproof.

Watson had given his name and asked for a safe-conduct pass.

In this troubled period Thomas Watson dedicated his Hekatompathia or Passionate Century of Love to Oxford, noting that the Earl had taken a personal interest in the work.

When James Watson came to Cambridge, Crick was a 35-year-old graduate student ( due to his work during WWII ) and Watson was only 23, but he already had a Ph. D.

Crick was writing his Ph. D. thesis ; Watson also had other work such as trying to obtain crystals of myoglobin for X-ray diffraction experiments.

In 1952, Watson did X-ray diffraction on tobacco mosaic virus and found results indicating that it had helical structure.

It is a matter of debate whether Watson and Crick should have had access to Franklin's results without her knowledge or permission, and before she had a chance to formally publish the results of her detailed analysis of her X-ray diffraction data which were included in the progress report.

However, Watson and Crick found fault in her steadfast assertion that, according to her data, a helical structure was not the only possible shape for DNA — so they had a dilemma.

In an effort to clarify this issue, Max Ferdinand Perutz later published what had been in the progress report, and suggested that nothing was in the report that Franklin herself had not said in her talk ( attended by Watson ) in late 1951.

One of the few references cited by Watson and Crick when they published their model of DNA was to a published article that included Sven Furberg's DNA model that had the bases on the inside.

Chargaff had also pointed out to Watson that, in the aqueous, saline environment of the cell, the predominant tautomers of the pyrimidine ( C and T ) bases would be the amine and keto configurations of cytosine and thymine, rather than the imino and enol forms that Crick and Watson had assumed.

After the discovery of the hydrogen bonded A: T and C: G pairs, Watson and Crick soon had their anti-parallel, double helical model of DNA, with the hydrogen bonds at the core of the helix providing a way to " unzip " the two complementary strands for easy replication: the last key requirement for a likely model of the genetic molecule.

Identification of the correct base-pairing rules ( A-T, G-C ) was achieved by Watson " playing " with cardboard cut-out models of the nucleotide bases, much in the manner that Linus Pauling had discovered the protein alpha helix a few years earlier.

May, Wynn, Rader and Cedeno all had 20 or more home runs and Watson hit 16.

Carducci suggested they sign with the label, and the Meat Puppets released their first album Meat Puppets in 1982, which among several new originals and a pair of heavily skewed Doc Watson and Bob Nolan covers, featured the songs " The Gold Mine " and " Melons Rising ", two tunes Derrick and Cris originally had written and performed as Atomic Bomb Club previously.

The Eagle in Cambridge is where Francis Crick interrupted patrons ' lunchtime on 28 February 1953 to announce that he and James Watson had " discovered the secret of life " after they had come up with their proposal for the structure of DNA.

Another, more interesting explanation, is hinted at by Watson when he observes on several occasions that Holmes would have made a magnificent criminal.

The blue-eyed Watson decided that he would dislike living in New York, and the deal fell through.

The white North Carolina performer Arthel " Doc " Watson credited listening to Jefferson's recordings as his first exposure to the blues, which would powerfully influence his own style.

As important as Crick's contributions to the discovery of the double helical DNA model were, he stated that without the chance to collaborate with Watson, he would not have found the structure by himself.

Watson would leave the Astros after the 1995 season to become general manager of the New York Yankees and helped to lead the Yankees to a World Championship in 1996.

For example, in " The Final Problem ", Holmes states that his services to the government of France and the royal house of Scandinavia had left him with enough money to retire comfortably, while in " The Adventure of Black Peter ", Watson notes that Holmes would refuse to help the wealthy and powerful if their cases did not interest him, while he could devote weeks at a time to the cases of the most humble clients.

Again in The Sign of the Four, Watson quotes Holmes as saying, " I would not tell them too much.

Watson would later enforce strict rules at IBM against alcohol consumption, even off the job.

German Chancellor Adolf Hitler was furious at the slight, and he declared that Watson would never step on German-controlled soil again.

Since the quote is typically used to demonstrate the fallacy of predictions, if Watson did make such a prediction in 1943, then, as Gordon Bell pointed out in his ACM 50 years celebration keynote, it would have held true for some ten years.

* April – Royal Colony of North Carolina Commissioners John Watson, Joshua Grainger, Michael Higgins and James Wimble plan the town of New Carthage ( which would eventually become Wilmington, North Carolina on the east side of the Cape Fear River ).

In September 2006 Watson was the subject of national media attention after resigning his junior ministerial post in an effort to force Prime Minister Tony Blair to name the date he would step down from office.

Parent asked Watson not to hurt him, and promised that he would not say anything, but Watson's response was to slash Parent with a knife and shoot him four times.

Coach Watson recounted to Murff that some opponents refused to bat against Ryan and how his hard pitches would sometimes break bones in his catchers.

The deciphering of the structure of DNA by Watson and Crick in 1953 suggested that each strand of the double helix would serve as a template for synthesis of a new strand.

The combined influence of Dewey, James Rowland Angell, Henry Herbert Donaldson and Jacques Loeb led Watson to develop a highly descriptive, objective approach to the analysis of behavior that he would later call " behaviorism.

She had hoped that by Watson knowing of this discovery, he would leave Rayner.

It was not until 1916 that Watson would recognize the more general significance of Pavlov's formulation and make it the subject of his presidential address to the American Psychological Association.

It was this new outlook that Watson claimed would lead psychology into a new era.

Watson argued for the nurture side of the nature-nurture debate, claiming that the world would benefit from extinguishing pregnancies for twenty years while enough data was gathered to ensure an efficient child-rearing process.

On 25 Jan. 2012, Tom Bartlett of The Chronicle of Higher Education published a report that questions whether John Watson knew of cognitive abnormalities in Little Albert that would greatly skew the results of the experiment.

Ed Watson went to Fort Myers during the hurricane, and tried to bring the sheriff back afterwards to arrest Cox, but the Lee County sheriff would not go past Marco.

In the same year as Radley, George Watson argued that " The case of ' Kubla Khan ' is perhaps the strangest of all – a poem that stands high even in English poetry as a work of ordered perfection is offered by the poet himself, nearly twenty years after its composition, as a fragment.

Their antagonism has crystallised, in part, around the authorship of the Redfern Speech, which Watson claimed for himself in Recollections of a Bleeding Heart and elsewhere, crediting Keating only with reading his text unchanged.

All but four stories are narrated by Holmes's friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson ; two are narrated by Holmes himself (" The Blanched Soldier " and " The Lion's Mane ") and two others are written in the third person (" The Mazarin Stone " and " His Last Bow ").

The detective is often described as starving himself at times of intense intellectual activity, such as during " The Adventure of the Norwood Builder ", wherein, according to Watson:

Holmes himself references Watson's moderation in " The Adventure of the Devil's Foot ", saying, " I think, Watson, that I shall resume that course of tobacco-poisoning which you have so often and so justly condemned ".

Watson soon began second-guessing himself for accepting the medal, and eventually returned the medal to the German government in June 1940.

William E. Watson, strongly supports Tours as a macrohistorical event, but distances himself from the rhetoric of Gibbon and Drubeck, writing, for example, of the battle's importance in Frankish, and world, history in 1993:

The two travel to California to see John Watson, an enigmatic scientist who purports to know the cause of the dolphins ' disappearance and who eschewed his original name in favour of " Wonko the Sane " due to harbouring the belief that the entire world's population save himself has gone mad.

As the story of " Little Albert " has made the rounds, inaccuracies and inconsistencies have crept in, some of them even due to Watson himself.

Except for a set of reprints of his academic works, Watson burned his very large collection of letters and personal papers, thus depriving historians of a valuable resource for understanding the early history of behaviorism and of Watson himself.

After 1900 Watson himself became an outspoken white supremacist and became the party's presidential nominee in 1904 and 1908, winning 117, 000 and 29, 000 votes.

It is likely that Watson, who went on to a successful career despite the attack and the loss of his leg below the knee, commissioned the painting as a lesson for other unfortunates, including orphans like himself, in the fact that even the severest adversity can be overcome.

Geniuses like Sherlock Holmes often find a use for faithful mediocrities like Dr. Watson, and by a coincidence it is the local doctor who follows Poirot round, and himself tells the story.

An example in the comic book genre is John Byrne's resplendent use of cameos in Marvel Comics ’ Iron Fist # 8, which features appearances by Byrne himself, Howard the Duck ( on a poster ), Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson, Sam McCloud, Fu Manchu, and Wolverine.

Holmes gives Watson a written message, tells him to give it to Youghal of the CID, and ushers him out the back way over his objections at Holmes's exposing himself to such danger.

The next day Watson follows Holmes's instructions to the letter and finds himself waiting in the reserved first class coach for his friend, but only an elderly Italian priest is there.

Once he manages to distract Watson's attention for a few seconds ( making Watson turn to his bookshelf to see if there is enough room to fit some books ), he transforms himself into Sherlock Holmes, much to Watson's great astonishment when he turns back round.

It was still obvious to all observers – and to Eubank himself – that he needed a knockout to win: and early in the 12th with Watson still visibly shaken the fight was stopped with Watson under a flurry of punches from Eubank.

While the currently married Dr. Watson is paying Holmes a visit, Holmes is called upon by a masked gentleman introducing himself as Count Von Kramm, an agent for a wealthy client.

Watson initially represented himself, and unsuccessfully tried to subpoena such figures as Bill Clinton and Jesse Ventura, whom the judge refused as irrelevant to his case.

In his 1978 memoir, Watson declared himself responsible for all of Tate's injuries, characterizing Atkins ' initial confessions as exaggeration, jail house bragging, and a bid for attention.
