Edson Arantes do Nascimento, the man named after the great inventor Thomas Edison, reinvented football as “the beautiful game” through his acrobatics, the excitement of his play, how he commanded the ball with his body and his feet, and how he scored some of the greatest and most beautiful goals in football history. He was an artist on the field.
Pelé’s legacy is defined by his ability to bring magic and excitement to the game, and his memorable goals will continue to be remembered for years to come.
Pelé was Brazilian football. He was Brazil. He was Santos. For one beautiful decade, with the world and the ball at his feet, Pelé was the maximum expression of sport around the planet, well, except perhaps in North America, where football failed to take hold. But, he still caused ripples in the US during his time at the New York Cosmos.
Max Prado, who lived in Silver Spring, Maryland, in the Washington, DC area, met Pelé even before his move to The Big Apple. Prado captained a soccer team called Illimani in the semi-pro La Liga DC. The team was made up of Bolivian, Argentine, Mexican and Uruguayan immigrants.

It was already scheduled and part of the treatment.

A golden girl
One of India's most formidable beauties passed away earlier this month. The odd thing is she would absolutely hate this obituary; she hated being written about and avoided publicity for all of her nine decades. Indira Aswani was 93 when she died. But anyone who encountered her, even briefly, was in such awe of her grace and poise, and one could not but remember her forever.

India is not a controlling big brother
Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay considers India a benevolent elder sibling as the \"big brotherly attitude\" is happily missing from bilateral ties. He thinks the relationship shared by the two countries has become a model of friendship not just for the region, but for the entire world. \"India's attitude is definitely not of a big brother who is controlling and does not allow the little brother to blossom and grow,\" says Tobgay in an exclusive interview with THE WEEK.
