by Pauling's success in |

| working
with molecular models, |

| Watson
and Crick rapidly put |

| together
several models of DNA |

attempted to incorporate all |

evidence they could gather. |

| Franklin's
excellent X-ray |

| photographs,
to which they had |

access without her |

| permission,
were critical to the |

| correct
solution. The four |

| scientists
announced the |

| structure
of DNA in articles that |

| appeared
together in the same |
