![]() ![]() ![]() Burke viewed the French Revolution as a violent and chaotic war without any guiding ideology or respect for the rule of law and feared it would lead to a situation that was both dangerous and corrupt.

While this was a major problem of the original Corvair, a larger problem developed from the vehicle’s inability to bear heavy loads without handling issues developing. These unregulated requirements were often not filled by the owners of Corvairs. This specific system on the Corvair caused tire pressure requirements that were not in line with existing industry standards. Unlike many other vehicles, the Corvair utilized a swing-axle suspension system. While Nader viewed most automobiles to be dangerous, he targeted the Chevrolet Corvair due to its unconventional design. ![]() In the first chapter of “Unsafe at Any Speed”, Nader fired a barrage of criticisms at the American automobile industry by stating that the Corvair was a “one-car accident”. ![]() While Ralph Nader certainly made some valid points in his most popular book, the Corvair may not have been as bad as he claimed.

Will and Kim are on opposite ends of the social and ideological spectrums, but when they come together, the chemistry is undeniable.Īfter reading all three books, I can finally tell you that this series is like if a Sherlock story was from Watson’s perspective, and Sherlock was more of a Mycroft-Sherlock mash-up (leaning into the rich person connections and devious, duplicitous nature of Mycroft paired with the pensiveness and cleverness of Sherlock), but set in the 1920s. Ex-soldiers returned to their hometowns for a pat on the back and zero job prospects. It’s the end of World War I in London, England, and the aftermath of war is still very much causing ripples throughout society. No pressure, KJ!
