Hence, everyone thought the entire book was about the Corvair.  LOL!

It's been years since I read the book but I used to know more than I do now  
about the auto industry and when I read the whole book, it was full of  
half-truths and distortion, designed to influence Congressional action to  
straight-jacket the car companies; unfortunately, it worked (may Nader's soul,  if he 
has any, roast eternally in Hell.) The stuff he defecated into print  in the 
rest of the book was just as bad as what he wrote about the 'Vair.(Pure  B.S.)
