...DIED. RICHARD DOLL, 92, one of the first scientists to link cigarette smoking to lung cancer; in Oxford, England. The epidemiologist's 1949 findings, based on patient surveys at 20 hospitals in London, showed smoking to be the one habit consistent among the disparate population, leading to more definitive studies. Last year he published the final report in a half-century-long study by a group of British doctors, finding that continual smoking reduced life expectancy by 10 years, but that stopping, even late in life, could significantly improve...
