Quote:Speaking of the Nazi era and big tobacco in the same breath, I have come across some interesting - nay very unsettling - info concerning a very unpleasant, combative and ethically and morally challenged (imo, of course) chemist named "Frank Gerhardt, Ph. D", formerly of RJ Reynolds and the big tobacco law firm Jacob, Medinger & Finnegan and the very unpleasant, combative and ethically and morally challenged (imo, of course) Boy from Brazil.
The name Frank Gerhardt sounds German. Did the Nazis do research into smoking along with all their other human experimentation? Did RJ Reynolds have former Nazi scientists working for them? It would be just so appropriate in so many ways. I would like to know more.
