TODAY IN HISTORY
1953: Francis Crick (left) and James Watson publish “Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid” describing for the first time the double helix structure of DNA and making the modern study of genetics possible. Crick, who died in 2004, believed that eugenics was a goal that society would eventually embrace, stating, “I would be astonished if, in the next 100 or 200 years, society did not come round to the view that they would have to try to improve the next generation….” Watson, who at this writing in 2020 is still alive, was in recent years stripped of his honors and positions for refusing to back down from his numerous statements expressing his belief that the human races are not equal and that eugenic improvement is a worthy goal.
1874: Guglielmo Marconi, Italian-Irish radio pioneer who first made wireless communication practical, is born in Bologna, Italy. He was the recipient of many honors from several European countries, and was made a member of Mussolini’s Fascist Grand Council. He stated, “I reclaim the honor of being the first fascist in the field of radiotelegraphy, the first who acknowledged the utility of joining the electric rays in a bundle, as Mussolini was the first in the political field who acknowledged the necessity of merging all the healthy energies of the country into a bundle, for the growing greatness of Italy.”Today In History (April 25 1874, 1953)
