Statism is Everywhere

I noted with displeasure a bit of statism in AutoWeek for July 14 of a type I normally associate with the larger media that are more tightly bound to the political class. Rich Ceppos, the publisher, reverses his course of the past 30 years or so (if he’s that old) and thanks Ralph Nader for causing cars to be more the way he (Ceppos) wants them to be than they would have been otherwise. Those of you old enough to remember Nader’s Unsafe at Any Speed (1965) as a current event will be amused to learn that I still own and drive a beautiful 1966 Corvair Corsa!
