Unbrainwashing. The son of a Lebanese-immigrant restaurateur, Nader had the usual American experience with shoddy goods as a boy in Winsted, Conn. He worked in a meat market, had a close friend who was seriously injured in an auto wreck (though not through any fault of Detroit: the friend fell asleep at the wheel). Later, he was horrified during his undergraduate years at Princeton when songbirds on the campus began dying as a result of DDT spray-long before Rachel Carson's Silent Spring raised an anti-pesticide furor...
...popped up like mushrooms; 18 in all put up the unusually low $30 filing fee and ten-signature petition to qualify for the Nov. 7 race. Wilhelm Joerres, a sometime hairdresser and lifeguard, promised that if elected he would spend his first week in City Hall in the nude.

Aside from the prices ($173.90 for a relatively modest dinner for six) Claiborne sadly reported that...
