Mark Frederiksen, one of Ralph Nader's consumer watch-birds, is feeding the pre-and post-freeze price lists of 77 Washington-area stores into a computer. The print-outs will be turned over to consumer groups and labor unions. In New York City, 1,000 shop stewards of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees descended on local supermarkets last week to monitor...
