Quote of the Week: "The great companies did not know that the line 
between hunger and anger is a thin line. And money that might have gone 
to wages went for gas, for guns, for agents and spies, for blacklists, 
for drilling. On the highways the people moved like ants and searched 
for work, for food. And the anger began to ferment." --John Steinbeck's 
The Grapes of Wrath
