...With reference to "Auto Racing" [July 7]: Mr. Foyt should remain with those bulky old Offenhausers in the interest of saving the public from other crybaby winners. The U.S.A.C. shows a great lack of imagination if it cannot formulate a scheme whereby the turbine cars, an attempt at progress, can be worked into competition with the now almost obsolete Lotus-Fords.

Pannenberg goes so far as to argue that "Jesus brought hardly anything that was new. He claimed the God of Israel as his authority, a God already known to his hearers.
