Would history continue to repeat itself? Argentine Goalkeeper Ubaldo Fillol unwittingly decided the matter: he charged at the Belgian. Vanderbergh reflexively laced a shot through Fillol's fingers. Final score: 1-0. Modest Belgium-a 28-to-l long shot-had humiliated one of the game's most revered powers. Adios tradition...
...Before John Paul's dramatic Mass for peace at the Vatican the weekend before last, with both British and Argentine Cardinals concelebrating, the lines were well formed. Arrayed in favor from the start were the British bishops. Opposed were key members of the Curia-and, most notably, Archbishop Ubaldo Calabresi, the papal nuncio in Argentina. Backing Calabresi were the Pope's top aide, Secretary of State Agostino Cardinal Casaroli; Archbishop Achille Silvestrini, his "foreign minister," who had once favored the trip but turned against the idea when the battles began; and Sebastiano Cardinal Baggio, prefect of the Pontifical...

Another Greek pursuit column harried the Italian retreat toward Moskopole ("Perfumed City"). Greek and British warplanes bombed and machine-gunned long columns of dejected Blackshirts and Alpini, whose welfare was further menaced by mutinous Albanian battalions in their very midst, by Albanian snipers, knife-men, rock-rollers and bridge-blasters in the gorges and ravines along...
