Ralph Nader: Reformer With Results (And He Never Even Did Blow!)
BY JOHN WALSTON
Arguably the closest thing America has to a national hero, Ralph Nader has spent a lifetime designing and firing artillery at the heart of corporate/state corruption. He hasn't landed the silver bullet yet, but he's back in the Presidential fold with the Greens in 2000--and this time he's pissed. John Walston is excited, but wonders if Nader's vocabulary of "reform" can survive the rhetorical efforts of Gore/Bush to fill the McCain vacuum.
