...than sustains; water poisons rather than refreshes; machinery and appliances invented for service and comfort fail to function and sometimes even maim and kill. What has anyone done about it? Until fairly recently, not a great deal. This week TIME'S cover tells the story of Ralph Nader, one man who felt that something had to be done-and set out to do it himself. Nader has spearheaded many of the gains the U.S. consumer has recently made in government, business and industry, science and medicine -wherever it is vital to attack the perils that have been masquerading...
...protest. The agencies report that the response has been abundant and heartwarming. Leo Burnett Co. Inc.'s ad on environment and pollution resulted in requests for 30,000 reprints. After urging the silent citizen to speak out, Dancer-Fitzgerald-Sample Inc. received a flood of congratulations, including one note allowing that "maybe Madison Avenue isn't all bad after all." The ad that has so far drawn the most active response was by Young & Rubicam (Oct. 24), which urged citizens to help construct play areas in ghettos and reminded everyone that little parks can be built even with...
Among themselves, the officials are not always even cautious. "We are winning going away," one field-grade officer in Viet Nam wrote to a Pentagon colleague last week.

...one witness called by General Peers was more than willing to get his story across to the public. The man who commanded Charlie Company when it attacked My Lai, Captain Ernest Medina, appeared in Washington with flamboyant Attorney F. Lee Bailey at his side. Bailey convinced Army officials that even though other potential witnesses were under court orders not to discuss the case, Medina should be allowed publicly to refute accounts given by some members of his company about his role on that fateful morning of March 16. In a Washington press conference and a televised interview with...
...major aim of the Pentagon investigation by General Peers is to find out why it took more than a year for word of the atrocity to reach Washington. One of the Pentagon's leading experts on guerrilla warfare, Peers was selected because he had commanded a division in Viet Nam but had no connection with the involved Americal Division. From what the Army has revealed so far, no suggestion that the My Lai deaths might have amounted to a massacre got past the Americal Division headquarters in Viet Nam. The only on-scene alarm seemingly was voiced by Helicopter...
