Christie&#8217;s whispered\u00a0word about the auction in several countries before the sale. Alisher Usmanov, the richest man in Russia, contacted Watson before the auction and\u00a0made an offer for a financial contribution to the Lab, on the condition that Watson call off the auction, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/12\/10\/nyregion\/buyer-of-james-watsons-nobel-medal-will-return-it.html\">latest report <\/a>by Anemona Hartocollis in the New York Times (she\u2019s had the Watson auction beat). But Watson\u00a0turned down Usmanov&#8217;s offer. Hartocollis reports that Watson wanted to see how\u00a0much he could get for the medal.<\/p>\n<p>So Usmanov let Watson hold the auction and then bid on the medal, determined to win\u2014but to not take home his thank-you coffee mug. As one\u00a0astute Genotopia commenter\u00a0observed,\u00a0things have reached a strange state when a Russian oligarch takes the moral high ground.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0latest twist is vintage Watson. I can well imagine him waving away the rotund Russian and his &#8220;boring\u201d (my imagining of Watson\u2019s word)\u00a0offer of a straight gift. I think the thrill of the gamble caught him. Crick (\u2018s family) got $2.1M for his. Watson was confident\u00a0he could beat that. But by how much? At the auction, he watched the bidding intently, grinned broadly when it crossed $4M, and celebrated afterward.<\/p>\n<p>In remarks at Christie\u2019s before the auction, he told the audience to always \u201cgo for gold.\u201d Silver was never enough, he said. It turns out that he had something specific in mind: he wanted not the \u201csilver\u201d of Usmanov\u2019s initial offer, but the maximum gold he could get for his gold. The gamble, the risk, the competition, the publicity. The chance to take the stage once again, to rile people up, confuse them, yank the public\u2019s chain. It became about <em>him<\/em>, not the gift.<\/p>\n<p>Watson enjoys playing the scoundrel and he chose, with classic perversity, to punch a few holes in this clich\u00e9d last refuge. The reasons to undertake philanthropy are to be&#8211;or at least appear&#8211;moral, generous, selfless, humane.\u00a0As the dust settles on this latest bizarre event in Watson&#8217;s long career, he ends up\u00a0seeming competitive,\u00a0avaricious, and childish.\u00a0Of all the reasons he gave for wanting to sell the medal, the most oddly touching was the wish to rehabilitate his image. Alas,\u00a0he has only reinforced it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s pledge week again on National Public Radio.
