IANAL, but a little Googling turned up this FAQ 
(http://www.mycorporation.com/faq.htm#sameper), which states that in 
most states, a single natural person can be the sole shareholder, 
director, president, and secretary of a corporation.

A "public" corporation, as I understand it, is one that the general 
public may buy and sell shares in.  My employer is not public, but it 
has stockholders--the various venture-capital firms that have invested 
in it.
