Granatelli and Jones naturally branded the U.S.A.C. decision unfair. "Sure, we had an edge with our car this year," said Jones, "but it wasn't that big an edge." Not so, countered A. J. Foyt, who won this year's 500 in a conven tional 550-h.p. Ford after Jones broke down. A.J. claimed that the STP Special had more horses than Granatelli or Jones admitted - perhaps as many as 700.

The series will be repeated this summer...
...unfair," said a U.A.R. spokesman. "They have 2,300,000 Jews on their side. And we have none." He denied, however, that Egypt had asked the Russians for their 2,500,000 Jews. Soon after the war's start, Nasser made a brief guest appearance on the popular Cairo TV show, Where's My Line? Reports from the second day of fighting indicated that the Egyptians had destroyed four Jeeps, a kosher mobile kitchen and 14 air-conditioned Cadillacs. The Israelis claimed 400 MIGs and 24 flying carpets. Ralph Nader launched a campaign to provide Arab tanks with...
