...year-old Navy ensign, when he helped devise a plan (called off at the last moment by Eisenhower) to relieve the ill-fated French garrison at Dien Bien Phu in 1954.

At one point its official clock broke down; at another, the sound system went dead just before the playing of the Mexican national anthem. Even the host nation's 2-1 victory over Belgium in its opening match ended in chaos as tens of thousands of celebrators rampaged through the center of the capital, commandeering public buses and tearing pieces off the national monument...
