only remember his attacks on American cars. Unsafe At Any Speed* was what brought him to the attention of most.* The case I most remember, and I think the case that gave the book it's title, was a girl killed by a radio knob. The knob whas shaped like a rocket-ship, pointed with fins. The girl was sitting close to the driver and when he stopped at at a speed of no more than 1 or 2 miles/hour she slid off the vinal seat and hit her forehead on the radio knob, impailing it into her skull. There were many ways the death could have been prevented, from seatbelts to padded and recessed dashboards. That was the real point of the book. Nader, much like MADD, didn't know how to stop his crusade once most of the relevant gains had been made. TP
