Wednesday I wore a floral blouse with a melon red suit, Thursday a white blouse with a bright yellow linen suit I had purchased in London when I was working for the marihuana commission. On Friday, I wore a burgundy blouse with white polka dots, a white skirt, and a navy blue blazer...

But Mr. Ferrara's implication that it holds for growers whose workers the UFW is organizing is incorrect and misleading. Corporate farms in California account for 90% of the melon crop and 30% of the citrus crop, two of the main areas of UFW activity. Two corporations control over a third of the nation's production of leafy green vegetables, another key area of UFW organizing. (National, 6/15/71). And Gallo wine, currently the main target of the UFW boycott in Cambridge...
