Interesting.  Denise McCluggage around '63 wrote a magazine article
entitled; 
"The Gentle Art of Driving the Corvair."  Quoted out of context it became 
exhibit B in the Corvair chapter of Unsafe At Any Speed.  Exhibit A, of
course, 
was Rose Pierini's severed arm.  Ms McCluggage was later called upon to
explain 
her words when the Senate subcommitte investigated the NHTSA investigation.

(Yes, that's right, the investigation was investigated--at Mr. Nader's 
insistence).  Bet she never expected to attract such attention when she
first sat 
down to bang on her typewriter about driving the Corvair!
