...Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck awakened the American conscience to the hapless life of the migrant farm worker. That was exactly 30 years ago. The stoop laborer in the fields today is still a forgotten man among U.S. workers, often little better off than he was at the time of the loads' tribulations in Depression-era California. In 1969, the field worker is more likely to be a Chicano-a Mexican-American-than an Okie.

But, as 1967 proved, the option to attack is not Nasser's alone.

It settled for insisting that the guerrillas not carry arms in Lebanon-which often meant the army carried their weapons for them. Two weeks ago, even that slight restraint was brushed aside when an eight-man Lebanese patrol stopped a group of Al-Fatah commandos a mile from the Israeli border.
