Since it has headers, it might make more sense for readability to use
a DictReader:

  f = file("source.txt", "rb")
  r = csv.DictReader(f, delimiter='\t')
  for row in r:
    print row["Name"], row["Address"], ...

However, if it's just stripping off the first row and operating
directly on the resulting data, then I'd just be tempted to do

  r = csv.reader(f, delimiter='\t')
  r.next() # discard the headers, or optionally store them
  for row in r:
    ...
