...some from Italy, Sweden and England to launch a new album series, Around the World in Jazz (3 LPs). As might be expected, the Roman New Orleans Jazz Band sticks to Dixieland, noodles around happily with such authentic material as Muskrat Ramble, St. James Infirmary and Tin Roof Blues. Stockholm's Arne Domnerus and Orchestra take a page out of Charlie Parker's bop book. Two English bands play in the old razzle-dazzle style of Ted Lewis. Chief merit of all three importations: enthusiasm...
...thousand Swedish fans turned out in Stockholm last week to hear a rocking sample of the best brand of U.S. jazz, beaten out and bellowed by some of the best U.S. practitioners. First, half a dozen instrumentalists gave them a round of modern combo numbers, including C-Jam Blues and Perdido. Then Songstress Ella Fitzgerald stepped forward, let fly with Why Don't You Do Right? and St. Louis Blues. Finally, the stage was darkened and Gene Krupa, his face spotlighted from below, flailed away on the drums...
Seedlings & Bulbs. Worcester is even gaining materially from Fontaine's trip: Boy Scouts in Stockholm are sending 1,000 pine seedlings this spring to Boy Scouts in Worcester; Dutch tulip growers flew 250 bulbs to Worcester where they have been planted in the city common. The Vienna Choir Boys dedicated a lullaby to Worcester; and Louis Barthe, chef at Maxim's in Paris, invented a new dish called langue de boeuf à la Worcester (recipe: soak beef tongue for six days in bay leaves, then boil and serve with a heavy port wine sauce...

The 404 entries from 20 nations took off from such widely scattered points as Stockholm, Lisbon, Glasgow and Palermo. The drivers ran into all sorts of hazards: rain, snow, sleet, fog, mechanical breakdowns, head-on crashes. In addition, eagle-eyed dockers at various points ticked off the cars as they passed, making sure that none exceeded the 65-kilometer-per-hour (40 m.p.h.) speed limit. A minute's delay here, too much speed there...
...ocean Denmark Distributor Rudolf Fardal also wrote of his first experiences with TIME. He was a distributor of Swedish newspapers and magazines, most of them banned during the German occupation. One day in 1945, he received word that a TIME Inc. representative would like to talk to him in Stockholm. To get permission to make the trip, Fardal concocted an elaborate ruse. About a year earlier, he had become the Danish representative for a paper mill in Gothenburg, Sweden. So he arranged surreptitiously to have this firm send him a letter offering to ship a large quantity of toilet paper...
