At the same time he is an aggressive regulator of business. Yet Engman's self-appointed role as a sort of Ralph Nader out of Adam Smith involves no serious contradiction. He simply believes consumers are best served by a highly competitive business community, and he happens to be in a job that allows him to press that case forcefully...

In such controversial areas as the sonic booms and atmospheric damage caused by supersonic transports, the dangers of cyclamates and the effects of defoliants...
...number of laws-notably Title II of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which bans discrimination in places of public accommodation. White would leave it to the nation's legislators rather than the courts to decide whether to extend the principle. One self-appointed public attorney general, Ralph Nader, quickly vowed to ask Congress to do just that. Otherwise, he says, the ruling "is going to have a very depressive impact on the ability of public interest lawyers to litigate...
