Sunday, October 16, 2005 at 8:00 PM Baxter Lecture Hall FREE; no tickets or reservations required Born in Winsted, Connecticut, and educated at Princeton and Harvard Law School, Ralph Nader first gained national attention in 1965 as the thirty-one-year-old author of Unsafe at Any Speed. The book indicted unsafe automobile design in general and General Motors' Corvair in particular. He has been called one of America's most effective social critics. He also has been called everything from Muckraker to Consumer Crusader to Public Defender.
His documented criticism of government and industry has had widespread effect on public awareness and bureaucratic power. He is the "U.S.'s toughest customer" as Time magazine noted. His inspiration and example have galvanized a whole population of consumer advocates, citizen activists, and public interest lawyers who in turn have established their own organizations throughout the country.
This event is part of the Caltech Y's Social Activism Speaker Series, which focuses attention on current social and political issues by inviting prominent activists to speak to the Caltech community and the public, and to share their experiences and perspectives.
