I wrote this article. Although I know the subject personally, the information comes entirely from published sources, principally a published biography a photocopy of which Bob gave me for this purpose. It was from a volume of computer-science biographies, but I did not take note of the citation details, so this article is completely unsourced until someone can identify the original book. I believe his official CSAIL biography is based on the same source.
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.)
