I am looking for some good biographies to read. One narrow topic of interest is women scientists. Titles and publishers for these two women appeared some time ago on the net: Rosalind Franklin (re: xray studies of DNA) and Barbara McClintock (sp?) (new Nobel laureate in genetics). Please send me mail if you have the info. Also, has anyone read a good biography of Harry Truman? Loreen Breda
