...Lloyd Ruby stood there in the Indiana rain with Rodger Ward, in front of a television camera, and a million or so people in TV land watched them. Roger Ward had won the Indianapolis 500 twice, and then, with a tearful speech, retired in 1966. Now he was back as the resident racer on ABC's Wide World of Sports, interviewing Ruby following the first day of qualifications for this year's edition of the race...

Born and trained in Vienna, Neutra emigrated in 1923 to the U.S., where he studied under Frank Lloyd Wright before moving to California. Like Wright, he rejected the stern horizontals and verticals of the then popular International style, instead opted for odd angles, diagonal roofs, warm-colored woods and stones.
