Coyne would undoubtedly have preferred that Francis' predecessor on the
Human Genome Project, James Watson, be named next head of the NIH. At least
that way, he'd have another certified bigot at the helm.
This would probably be old news, if Tom Daschle's appointment had not been
withdrawn. My understanding is that Collins was Daschle's first choice for
the NIH job.
