Nader the consumer advocate runs long shadow over politics
Ralph Nader, 66, lives frugally in a Washington studio and heads the Green Party campaign while building a network of public interest groups. He rose to prominence with Unsafe at Any Speed, pushed auto safety, and has since challenged airlines, drug firms, the WTO, and the political establishment. His running mate is Winona LaDuke, and he pursues a multi-state tour as he keeps personal life guarded and finances modest.
