I’ve often repeated to unwilling listeners that the Tucker film is just an urban myth with little to do with reality. It’s akin to the hoary old falderal that GM, Firestone, etc. bought and doomed the Los Angeles Red Line urban train system. That bit of tripe was still being taught in college in the mid-Eighties. I, a rather well versed thirty-something student at the time, argued with the professor, and (perhaps convincingly to a few in the class), deconstructing the myth in a presentation. I wonder if it’s still being taught.
