[Wrsssatty at aol.com]

AutoWeek magazine is in the midst of a year-long celebration of its 50th 
(1958-2008) anniversary and so is featuring a weekly "50 Years of Automotive 
Passion" column.  The current (9/17/07) issue features 1965 and includes this 
mention:  "Former racer Stirling Moss is called into San Jose Superior Court by 
General Motors to testify on behalf of GM regarding the safety of one of its 
products:  the 1960Chevrolet Corvair.  Doreen Woods seeks $400,000 in damages 
following an accident in which her seven-year-old daughter was killed and she 
sustained injuries.  She claims the car suffers from 'defective design,' which 
makes it 'inherently unstable.'"  In a side-bar they mention "Ralph Nader 
publishes Unsafe at Any Speed."  A young Mr. Nader is pictured.
