John Steinbeck 1902-1968
Steinbeck won
the Nobel Prize
for Literature in 1962
for a life's work writing
about those who
had been roughed up by history
— most notably
his Depression-era novels,
Of Mice And Men
and The Grapes of Wrath.
Four years later,
Steinbeck left for Vietnam
to cover the war firsthand.
His dispatches appeared
in Newsday in 1966 and 1967
