Adam Schiff quoted examples:

>  Read, Miss
>  Seuss, Dr.

and

>  Dr. X
>  Miss Piggy


The distinctions escape me, as it would most patrons I expect.  Why is
"Read" any more a surname than "Piggy"?  And which would "Snoopy" be?  
Or "Seuss" more than "X"?

Malcolm X is intered under "X" as surname:

100   1_ |a X, Malcolm, |d 1925-1965.

Don't defend this by saying it's no worse than AACR2.  RDA is supposed to
be *better* than AACR2.

While cross references might get one from one to the other in the
catalogue, the form used does determine Cutter.
