M.Ted: Sorry, I misunderstood. I was referring to the article "Who's the real Ralph Nader?" (for which GUEST,Luther provided the link under the name "Alan Caruba at etherzone.com") where it says ". . . other sources say he lives in a $100,000 home . . ." Obviously you were referring to a different article, "Nader's skeletons" which I only just now noticed. Still, if his house was worth $100,000 in 1972 it's probably worth about $425,000 today, assuming Washington has had the same inflation rate as St. Paul. Still, I don't think that's out of line. I wonder what Bush's and Gore's houses are worth? As to the confusion about where Nader REALLY lives, it wouldn't surprise me if he owns both an efficiency apartment in Washington (you Brits would call that a bed-sit) and a house in either Maryland or Virginia. I think a lot of Washington bigwigs do that, because of the difficulty of commuting.
