...ruled the court. Clearly, law officers can ask a suspect his name, and if they can do that, they can ask his social security number as well. Said Judge Horace Troop (269-01-6697), with Judge Robert Holmes (284-16-9567) and Judge Robert Leach (330-40-5373) concurring: "In this modern day, name and social security number are in practice interchangeable. A citizen is no longer just a name. He is at once also a number. We are but a very short step removed from the issuance of a number with a birth certificate. To be a man without...

...lanky six-footer who is constantly behind schedule and late for appointments, Nader can be painfully shy among strangers. When asked to give his name in hotels and on planes, he often tries to avoid recognition and replies, "Nader, initial R." He even keeps his birthday secret lest admirers send him cakes or other gifts. His driving intensity about work can sometimes trap him into hasty accusations. When economists in the Johnson Administration once met with auto industry leaders in an effort to win voluntary price restraint, Nader was too quick to accuse the Administration of "acquiescing" to Detroit...
