GM'S RESPONSE
Last May, the Nader-started
Campaign GM failed to force the
giant automaker to (1) expand
Its board of directors by three
men to represent the “public In
terest," or (2) to create a com
mittee ol black, labor, consumer,
and environmental representa
tives.
Campaign OM got a great deal
of publicity for its demands, but
only 3 percent of GM’s stockhold
ers' votes.
This week GM took a step in
the “public interest” direction.
GM said it would assign five
of its present 23 directors to a
committee, to keep watch on “so
cial, environmental, and other
concerns.” Given the impact of
the automobile on modern life,
as a source of pollution and con
gestion as well as comfort and
transportation, this is a welcome
move.
The main argument against
GM’s action is that the five men
already are in the bosom of cor
porate management, and thus
unlikely to serve as spoke.smen
i for dissent.
; Of course, the May vote fairly
I well determined that GM’s stock

THE COST OF BABY
“I don’t think they understand
that we have to bear the cost of
plane tickets, somebody to look
after the baby and all that sort
of thing.”
These were the words of Joan
Baez, folk singer with a snippet
of a voice and an outsized follow
ing, whose stick in trade is plan-
live and largely unconvincing
moralisms about the war and the
honors of evasion. She was pro
testing the inconsiderateness of
gate-crashers, and of motonoycle
cadres who made the 'closing of
the Isle of Wight pop festival in
to something of a free-for-all. Her
fee for her appearance was
"’“,000.
Miss (Baez’s remark about hav
ing to earn enough “to locrft after
the baby" is characteristic of
much of the unreality of the mass
folk festival phenomenon. “Baby,”
