    The Nobel-winning biologist has drawn global criticism with unfounded pronouncements on genetics, race and intelligence. He still thinks he’s right, a new documentary finds. It has been more than a decade since James D. Watson, a founder of modern genetics, landed in a kind of professional exile by suggesting that black people are intrinsically less intelligent than whites. In 2007, Dr. Watson, who shared a 1962 Nobel Prize for describing the double-helix structure of DNA, told a British journalist that he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that...

    France coach Raymond Domenech has alleged that his players were subjected to racist taunts by Spanish fans before Tuesday's second round tie. He said: "When I arrived with the bus there were fans making monkey chants." The claim seems certain to reignite the racism row that has plagued Spanish football in recent years. In 2005 Spain coach Luis Aragones was fined for making racist remarks about France's Thierry Henry and players have suffered racist abuse in La Liga games. Aragones' comments about Henry were the most high-profile and Henry was clearly delighted that France were able to beat the Spaniards...
