OK - here's a tough one - I'd swear I heard someone on NPR talking

[hedgehog]

about a book this fall about environmental hazards or the auto industry. I distinctly remember that they discussed the decision to use of tetra ethyl lead in gasoline back in the 30's. I can't find that book OR the discussion on NPR going back as far as August. Can anyone help me?

1. Are you thinking of Edwin Black's "Internal combustion"?

reviewed in the New Yorker - Automania is the title.
