WAPO—Five years ago, James Watson, one of the fathers of DNA, tried to sell his Nobel Prize because people thought he was a racist. Watson, who won the prize in 1962 for outlining the double-helix structure of DNA, wanted to offer penance for the comments that brought his reputation crashing down in...
