I read this story and several other very interesting ones in this great book detailing the history of evolution of modern statistics -- The Lady Tasting Tea: How Statistics Revolutionized Science in the Twentieth Century by David Salsburg. The author himself personally met with several leading figures that he describes. Highly recommended!
