Ralph Nader - Personal Life

Personal Life

Nader was raised in the Eastern Orthodox Church. He has never married. Karen Croft, a writer who worked for Nader in the late 1970s at the Center for Study of Responsive Law, once asked him if he had ever considered getting married. She reports: "He said that at a certain point he had to decide whether to have a family or to have a career, that he couldn't have both. That's the kind of person he is. He couldn't have a wife—he's up all night reading the Congressional Record."

While he believes that technology has no "moral imperative", Ralph Nader personally eschews using computers for writing with a trusted typewriter.

    Upon the leaze and watch the sky,
    Never, I own, expected I
