Ralph Nader: New Hampshire
built 190 days ago
Foundations supporting the Nader Trust range from the impeccably Establishment, like Ford and Rockefeller, to the decidedly left, like the New World Foundation and the Philip M. Stem Family Fund. Other contributors are tobacco fortunes like Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation. Smoking is a far greater health problem than many of Nader's concerns, but he has shown little interest in it until recently. The Playboy Foundation supported CSRL for many years, apparently not compromising Nader's stated sensitivity to feminist issues.

Nader is a just a wee bit taken with himself. He likes to overstate things, but he ... likes to brush off concerns about his own wealth and property dealings and the less savory parts of his biography -- nothing new there, he's very much a Washington player.

Nor do statistics necessarily suggest that a Nader miracle has protected the New Republic subscription list. The fact is that U.S. traffic fatalities per 100 million miles traveled had fallen rapidly throughout the century, from 24 in 1921 to 5.3 in 1965. They have continued to fall since, to a recent 2.2. In 1965 the U.S. traffic fatality rate was about the lowest in the world-and it still is. Arguably, sheer economic growth and technological improvement have been the decisive factors here: Americans just consistently bought better, safer cars as they became available and affordable.
