Ralph Nader, "Please Teach Your Children About Corporate Criminals (WaPo, September 25, 2021)

My parents taught me about corporate criminals. We had a copy of "The Robber Barons" in our living room, among a cache of good books that opened my eyes to the world. 

During freshman orientation at Georgetown University on August 28, 1974 (Feast of Saint Augustine), I saw Ralph Nader speak at Gaston Hall. He stayed to answer numerous questions, until there were only twelve of us left in the auditorium. 

The next morning, i went to volunteer for Senator Ted Kennedy. Best. Senator. Ever.
