General Motors—the world’s largest corporation at the time, and producer of the Chevrolet Corvair —did not take kindly to Nader’s crusade. The company sent investigators to harass Nader and make menacing phone calls to his friends and family. Private investigators spied on his activities and attempted to discredit him by allegedly luring him into compromising situations with women.
Early Life. Born on February 27, 1934, in Winsted, Connecticut, Nader was the youngest of four children. His parents, Rose and Nathra, were Lebanese immigrants who owned a restaurant and bakery that became a gathering place for the small community in which they lived.
Attorney, activist and politician Ralph Nader is an auto-safety reformer and consumer advocate. He has run for president several times as a candidate for the Green Party.
u0014Nader’s testimony before the Senate also set in motion Congressional action on automobile safety, and in September 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed into law the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. This law created the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which oversees federal safety standards for automobiles and is authorized to impose recalls for unsafe vehicles. In 1967, in a throwback to Upton Sinclair, Nader also initiated a campaign that led to the passage of the 1967 Wholesome Meat Act, which imposed federal standards on slaughterhouses.
After graduating from Princeton, Nader attended Harvard Law School. While there, he served as the editor of the Harvard Law Record, in which he published his first article on the automobile industry, “American Cars: Designed for Death.".
Former teen heartthrob, Ralph Macchio is beloved for his role in 'The Karate Kid.' Macchio will star in a YouTube Red series that will be a sequel to 'Karate Kid,' co-starring William Zabka , who played Johnny Lawrence in the original film.
Nader also founded the Center for Responsive Law in 1968 and Public Citizen Inc. in 1971.
