...stake was the World Club soccer championship-Santos of Brazil v. Milan of Italy-and all Brazil braced for the familiar frenzy. Work came to a standstill; every radio and TV set was tuned to the broadcast. In Brasilia President Joao Goulart canceled all appointments and camped by his radio; congressional committees recessed; Alliance for Progress meetings in Sao Paulo were scheduled around game time.

At length he recovered sight in one eye and quit college to "keep school" in Milan, Ga., for $47.50 a month. He saved money, but his father borrowed it-$50 here, $100 there. One day, urging him to finish college, his father produced all the "borrowed" money. So Pitts earned his degree in 1941, and his father died a proud...
