An Unreasonable Man - synopsis

In 1966, General Motors, the most powerful corporation in the world, sent private investigators to dig up dirt on an obscure thirty-two year old public interest lawyer named Ralph Nader, who had written a book critical of one of their cars, the Corvair. The scandal that ensued after the smear campaign was revealed launched Ralph Nader into national prominence and established him as one of the most admired Americans and the leader of the modern Consumer Movement. Over the next thirty years and without ever holding public office, Nader built a legislative record that is the rival of any contemporary president. Many things we take for granted including seat belts, airbags, product labeling, no nukes, even the free ticket you get after being bumped from an overbooked flight are largely due to the efforts of Ralph Nader and his citizen groups. Yet today, when most people hear the name \\\\"Ralph Nader,\\\\" they think of the man who gave the country George W. Bush. As a result, after sustaining his popularity and effectiveness over an unprecedented amount of time, he has become a pariah even among former friends and allies. How did this happen? Is he really to blame for George W. Bush? Who has stuck by him and who has abandoned him? Has our democracy become a consumer fraud? After being so right for so many years, how did he seem to go so wrong? With the help of exciting graphics, rare archival footage and over forty on-camera interviews conducted over the past two years, \\\\"An Unreasonable Man\\\\" traces the life and career of Ralph Nader, one of the most unique, important, and controversial political figures of the past half century.

Seventeen Traditions by Ralph Nader

http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061238277/The_Seventeen_Traditions/index.aspx

My boyhood in a small town in Connecticut was shaped by my family, my

friends, our neighbors, my chores and hobbies, the town\\\\'s culture and

environment, its schools, libraries, factories, and businesses, their

workers, and by storms that came from nowhere to disrupt everything. . .

. Yet childhood in any family is a mysterious experience. . . . What

shapes the mind, the personality, the character?

So begins this unexpected and extraordinary book by Ralph Nader. Known

for his lifetime of selfless activism, Nader now looks back to the

earliest days of his own life, to his serene and enriching childhood in

bucolic Winsted, Connecticut. From listening to learning, from

patriotism to argument, from work to simple enjoyment, Nader revisits

seventeen key traditions he absorbed from his parents, his siblings, and

the people in his community, and draws from them inspiring lessons for

today\\\\'s society. Warmly human, rich with sensory memories and lasting

wisdom, it offers a kind of modern-day parable of how we grow from

children into responsible adults—a reminder of a time when nature and

community were central to the way we all learned and lived.
