...their zeal, Tanzanians have turned up some curious threats to their cultural independence, and sparked a lively debate. Football, declared one letter to an editor, is "a degrading product of colonialism and elite European boarding schools. African culture never produced such a clownish performance."

This summer Nader, 34, took aim at Washington's official bastion of consumer protection, the Federal Trade Commission, and infected other youthful Americans with his muckraking zeal. Seven bright young Ivy Leaguers flanked him, five of them with legal training, badgering startled FTC officials with pointed questions that Nader believes Congress should ask but never...
