Abstract:
In his campaign to prevent publication of Watson's book, The Double Helix, Crick tried to enlist the support of Sir Lawrence Bragg, a Nobel Prize winner and director of the Cavendish Laboratory during the years of Crick's collaboration with Watson. Bragg had agreed to write a foreword for the book, which was to be published by Harvard University Press.. In his letter Crick also discussed the problem of making science comprehensible for lay audiences, one of the purposes of Watson's book.
