...Confidence. For tall, aloof Giorgio Valerio, son of an Italian steelman and a wealthy white Russian, Edison's rebirth was a proud moment after months of anxiety during the nationalization crisis. His victory gave a lift to the Milan exchange, which has been dormant for months; it also heartened Italy's nervous businessmen, who have been deeply depressed ever since last year's leftist turn in politics. Crowed one Italian industrialist: "They could nationalize electricity, but they couldn't nationalize Valerio...
...been the wish of my life to visit the Holy Land," wrote Giovanni Battista Montini, then Cardinal-Archbishop of Milan, to a bishop friend in November 1962.

"Goooooaaaaallllllllll!" howled the mob at each Santos goal; fireworks lit the sky and fans danced in the stands. No wonder that Santos, even playing without its injured superstar Pele (TIME, April 12), won the second game, 4-2, tying...
...third game, it was hardly a game at all. Photographers charged onto the field to conk Milan players with umbrellas; broadcasters bashed Italians with microphones; the Italians retaliated by kicking Santos players in the face, the Brazilians kicked right back. Of the regulation 90 minutes, 39 were spent in furious combat, 51 playing soccer. At last, Santos booted home a penalty shot for a 1-0 victory. Returning home, one of Milan's wounded groaned: "Never in all my soccer days have I seen anything like this...
