The one thing that sticks in my mind was a brief interview with a James Watson who had been told by his high school guidance counselor that since his IQ (measured by the Stanford-Binet test) was 105, he should reconsider his decision to become a scientist. They then cut from this to a newsreel shot of Watson receiving his Nobel Prize for his part in the discovery of the structure of DNA. John Hobson AT&T Bell Labs--Naperville, IL ihnp4!iwpba!amigo
