They Said It

?J.B. Pinheiro, Brazilian ambassador to the U.N. , in praise of Pel� : "My country has been built on mistakes. Pedro Cabral was looking for a passage to India when he discovered Brazil . Our entire history is like that. So here I am, probably the best soccer player in the world, and they've got me being an ambassador. Pel�, on the other hand, has spent 22 years playing soccer, and in that time he has done more for goodwill and friendship between nations than all of the ambassadors ever appointed."
