...child in England, Campbell had rheumatic fever, and it affected his heart. During World War II, he was invalided out of the Royal Air Force after he had been accepted for pilot training. All his young life he lived in the shadow of a robust, rich and famous father: Sir Malcolm Campbell, gentleman sportsman, holder of nine world land-speed records and three water-speed records, knighted by King George V. Even after Sir Malcolm died, in his bed at 64, the shadow remained. Donald sought out mediums, trying to contact his father-sometimes, he claimed, with success: "There...

Though he thought "the whole prospect of the Atlantic so appalling that I can't face it," he nonetheless thrilled to "the moan of the wind in the rigging," loved drawing "deep, mad breaths" in midocean...
Goal! Association Football is the proper name of an anything-but-proper game. America calls it soccer, and plays it rather poorly. The rest of the world calls it football, and plays it with a passion that rises to fever heat in midsummer, when 16 of the world's top teams assemble to run off the world series of soccer. Last summer the series was held in England, and it produced some of the most brutal and brilliant football of the decade...
