But as a freshman in the California Assembly she introduced a bill that would set strict limits on greenhouse-gas emissions from the state's cars and trucks-a measure that triggered a furious counter-attack. Whipped up by conservative talk shows and a $5 million ad campaign funded by the auto industry, angry calls flooded the legislature by the thousands. At one point, a menacing parade of SUVs circled the State Capitol and a man threatened to stalk Pavley with a baseball...
