Biography
Dotenwill did studies in Germany for all tobacco companies in the 1970s. Dotenwill was told they can't publish any more studies and the industry closed his lab.(R. Daynard 4/29/94/C. Weisman memo).

Dr. Freddy Homberger, President of BioResearch Consultants in Cambridge, Massachusetts, received $1 million in grants and found hamsters were susceptible to cancer of the respiratory tract. Homburger was told if he reported cancer he'd be cut off in money. He reported cancer and was cut off. He sent all remaining stock of hamsters to Dontenwill's lab, then Dontenwill's lab was suddenly closed, and he was paid each year not to talk about it. The company killed all the hamsters.(R.
