"he was trying to hide his own identity" [RESI]  Over the years, there have been numerous theories about how Watson (or Mrs. Watson, rather) got his name wrong, substituting "James" for "John." We covered some of them in Episode 7.   But this is a Masters Class episode in which we pick a masterful piece of Sherlockian scholarship and discuss it. In this case, it's one that may get to the bottom of this issue once and for all: Thomas Cynkin's article "James Watson, M.D." appeared in Vol. 51, No. 4 of The Baker Street Journal and it's just a Trifle.   If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us know at trifles @ ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your idea on the air, we'll send you some Sherlockian goodies. And don't miss a chance at our monthly prize: free back issues of The Baker Street Journal.
