...this has been going on, almost as if it were scripted, Case, sitting at Levin's left elbow, has been doing a little samba of his own. The Steve Case dance will be familiar to anyone who has been within two feet of a mailbox in the past decade, where Case's dance card came along with a disk inviting the recipient to join AOL.

When those yellow shirts go on the attack--which is most of the time--and their fans cheer to the intoxicating beat of samba bands, soccer becomes a ritual of fluidity and grace. In Pele's day, the Brazilians epitomized soccer as fantasy...
