...quadrennial matches are being held this time in Britain, where modern football originated 103 years ago. It has been quite a homecoming. Some 2,500,000 people, including 35,000 foreigners, will have witnessed one or more of the 32 games before the final match in London late this week. Fans who could not come to Britain have kept abreast with play-by-play accounts from 700 radio and TV broadcasters and 1,600 reporters. Thanks to a worldwide satellite hookup, the final game will probably be witnessed on television by no fewer than 400 million...
...matches began fortnight ago with 16 national teams in the running. By late last week, the only teams with a hope of victory were Britain, Portugal, the Soviet Union and West Germany. To the despair of their supporters, the others had fallen to noisy defeat. The loudest wails came from Brazil, whose team had won the cup in 1958 and 1962.

...physical strength a man peaks at 21 and plateaus to the late 60s, the period when degenerative diseases stalk. The arduous training program of the astronauts, five of whom are over 40 (Walter Schirra, Alan Shepard, Donald Slayton, Scott Carpenter, Virgil Grissom), has proved that a man can double his normal physical competence at ages much beyond 21. Any middle-ager's physiological potential is probably as unique as his fingerprints. The hair may grow thinner, but the capacity for mental growth is unimpaired in middle age. It is obvious that a man or woman of 40 can understand...
