| Summary: | This volume argues that privacy was built into the Constitution as originally written and into the Bill of Rights. [The book examines] governmental interference with privacy [and] the extent to which the government has as obligation to protect citizens from violations of their privacy by other citizens - as in the maintenance of computer data banks by private companies. [The book also looks at the] leaps in technology that gave us television, computers, and governmental ability to monitor citizens' lives; [and] concerns about national security as the United States entered the Cold War ...-Introd. |
