COPY OF FRANCIS CRICK WITH HIS SIGNATURE (and with his ink name stamp) on the front flyleaf. In A Slot Machine, Luria writes: "Francis had that wonderful quality of good physicists who turn to biology or to real estate: they are certain of their own ability to think at least a bit further than most other people in the new field and they generally do" (p. 89, see photo). Salvador Luria shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1969 with Max Delbr�ck and Alfred Hershey "for their discoveries concerning the replication mechanism and the genetic structure of viruses.".
