Edward Radford (1922-2001)

["Otto G. Raabe" <ograabe@UCDAVIS.EDU>]

October 23, 2001



The October 22, 2001, edition of the New York Times, page A19, ran an

obituary notice concerning the death on October 12 of Edward P. Radford,

MD. I believe that he was the controversial Chair of the BEIR III committee

who insisted that a linear dose-response relationship described the

low-dose atomic bomb survivor cancer-risk data even though others on that

committee disagreed.
