Solly[edit]

Solly sounds like a nickname. Is it his formal name?Lestrade (talk) 17:49, 12 February 2010 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]

It seems to be his proper name, it's how he's listed in the London Gazette for his honours, and that almost invariably uses full legal name (you sometimes see actors listed under their stage name whe they receive honours, but that's slightly different). I can't see the major journal of the Royal Society using a nickname in the title of an obit either. David Underdown (talk) 19:16, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Marital status of son[edit]

This article has been reporting that Paul Zuckerman was married to Patricia Rawlings. This is contradicted by press reports. See, for example, the report from the Mail Online from March 25, 2009, entitled "Sad split for stylish Patricia": "Rawlings... has parted from her love of the past 15 years, Rugby-educated banker Dr. Paul Zuckerman, with whom she had been sharing her Georgian home near Burnham Market.... [Rawlings and her former husband Lord Wolfson] divorced in 1967, but she never married Zuckerman...." The issue has resurfaced recently as Rawlings and Zuckerman have placed the Georgian house on the market. I have edited this article accordingly. Nandt1 (talk) 14:33, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'A focus of Zuckerman's plan, learned in Italy...'[edit]

Does this mean 'derived from experience in Italy'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.174.248 (talk) 22:24, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

External link to interview on nuclear policy?[edit]

Would an interview with Solly Zuckerman from 1987 be useful here as an external link? Focus of conversation is nuclear weapons policy. http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/V_C0CA272932634AD795692F84FBE9C3A6 (I helped with the site, so it would be conflict of interest for me to just add it.)

Science Policy[edit]

Zuckerman was the first GCSA, and made substantial contributions to the relationship between science and politics. Thile this includes disarmament, science policy does not get a mention in the article at present. I would like to add something in respect of his edited collection 'Beyond the Ivory Tower' which discusses botht eh process of science and the limits of science policy.

Why not WP:BEBOLD and add it? Certainly plenty of room for improvement. —Brigade Piron (talk) 16:05, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have written a paragraph, taking the lede from the paragraph above. It is a brief review of his book, partly to support the lede, and then to add a few more aspects as I suggested. LEt me know if it needs more examples and specific quotes/page numbers. Ca3tki (talk) 11:01, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
