German researchers had established this association in the 1930s, although that work was not widely appreciated until recently (Robert Proctor, The Nazi War on Cancer, 1999).

Yet a review of this book in the BMJ of 11 March 2000 says:

Indeed, as early as 1936 - the year that the young Richard Doll was attending the lectures in Frankfurt of the SS radiologist Professor Hans Holfelder - they had gathered sufficient statistical evidence to prove the cancerous hazards of what they labelled "passive smoking" (passivraucher).

If this is indeed the case, it would suggest that Doll knew a great deal about, and perhaps also appreciated, Nazi research into smoking, long before his post-war researches.

However, Doll's Independent obituary says:

The growing failure of capitalism pushed Doll further to the left - he described himself as a "democratic Communist" - and while still a student he walked part of the way with the Jarrow marchers in 1936, treating the bruised and blistered crusaders.

Did Doll both study in Frankfurt under Holfelder, and also join the Jarrow marches?--Idlex 12:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

• Have a clear lead section that summarizes the article in 2-3 paragraphs.
• What now serves as the lead section should be in a stand-alone section.
• The embedded HTML links should become footnotes.
• The image Image:Alpizar.jpg needs to state its rationale on the image page.
• The prose needs to become better to get a better grade than B-class.

  The plane parked at the gate and passengers disembarked to be processed by customs and immigration officials for example.

• There should be a merger of the Shooting & Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office report sections in order to show claims from both sides.
• There is a need for more information about his life prior to the shooting unless everything that can be found is already there. Lincher 03:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC) (edit comment)

• The article needs cleaning up
• Also needs portions put on a disambiguation page

I believe that the article generally has all of the relevant information for a scientist of Fano's stature who is little-known outside his field. Some restructuring may be useful. If any notable scientists who were his students can be identified, it would improve the article, as would a photograph. (I rarely see Bob at the office any more, so I'm probably not in a position to take one myself.) 121a0012 03:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC) (edit comment)
