NEW YORK A federal appeals court has reversed a ruling that awarded John Steinbeck's son and granddaughter publishing rights to 10 of the author's early works, including The Grapes of Wrath. The appeals court in Manhattan said a lower court judge made a mistake in calculating that the works belonged to the son, Thomas Steinbeck, and granddaughter Blake Smyle.
