                 turn_ad_publisher = 1356122;   turn_ad_publisher_ad_code = 1356140;   turn_ad_layout = "300x250";   turn_ad_color_schema = "DEFAULT";   turn_ad_publisher_channel = 1356129;           ');   }   //-->     Consumer activist, presidential candidate, Connecticut native Ralph Nader looks back on his earliest days growing up in Winsted, and revisits the seventeen traditions he absorbed from his immigrant Lebanese parents, his siblings, and the community as a whole - drawing from them inspiring lessons for today's society. 
  He dedicates his latest book, not only to his family, but also to young parents with the hope that they will pass their own family traditions to future generations. 
  Mr. Nader will be lecturing on The Seventeen Traditions and will be signing copies of the book in the Main Reading Room of the Silas Bronson Library.
  "Our parents always stressed that the best from the old should be merged with the best from the new," said Mr. Nader. 
  Mr. Nader recently pointed out that "The Seventeen Traditions" is not just a book, but a movement and he has set up a web-site seventeentraditions.com for people to share their family traditions, which he feels are being lost. 
  Recently named by Atlantic as one of the 100 most influential figures in American history (one of only four living individuals so honored), Mr. Nader has founded or launched more than one hundred civic organizations. 
  His groups have made an impact on tax reform, atomic power regulation, the tobacco industry, clean air and water, food safety, access to health care, civic rights, congressional ethics and much more.
