Three Canadian newspapers-the Toronto, Ont., Globe and Mail, the Kingston, Ont., Whig-Standard and the Regina, Sask., Leader-Post-dropped the pig-goat sequence. (As a substitute the Globe and Mail reprised a Pogo swampland series from the 1940s.) In the U.S., the Toledo Blade temporarily killed Kelly. And in Tokyo, the English language Asahi Evening News, having run the sequence for 11 days, agreed to drop the rest of it after a protest from the Soviet embassy...
Although milder American pop music was played in Germany even during the Nazi years, jazz as such was suppressed by the Nazis as "art/remder Niggerjazz"; in Frankfurt a few musicians used to rent boats and row back into the swampland along the Rhine to hold their jam sessions. Postwar jazz in Germany was fostered by U.S. Army bands and the Armed Forces Network, and there are now about 50 professional German combos and roughly 1,000 amateur jazz bands, many of them on high school and college campuses. Other amateurs play in abandoned bomb shelters or in the "jazz-houses...
...land is being changed. No other country of comparable size or population in the world is so busy building its future." On the same day, a crowd of 1,400 in Sydney watched the opening of a $3,300,000 plywood factory spreading over 14½ acres of onetime swampland; McCulloch Motors Corp. of Los Angeles announced that it would start making outboard motors in Australia; the Sydney Stock Exchange noted that share prices had risen to a level 33% higher than a year ago; and the government could say that unemployment was at 49,077, or barely...
...take personal command of the search for his kid brother Raul, 27, listed among the missing after taking off in a light plane for a short flight from Havana. Next day Raul, trigger-happy commander in chief of Cuba's armed forces, turned up safe in Cuban swampland after a crash landing in a storm. Just to complicate matters, the rescue plane that picked up Raul to return him to Havana in triumph landed with another crash (jammed landing gear) near the capital. Looking more than ever like a beardless revolutionary beatnik, Raul was greeted by his staunch revolutionist...
Pogo is a pleasant kind of possum. The star of Walt Kelly's comic strip (syndicated in 519 papers), is a wide-eyed, ingenuous little critter without a contentious bone in his body, and so. by and large, are all his swampland buddies. But now and then Artist Kelly, who has a sharp way of making a point, converts his strip into a sounding board. In 1954 he invented a new character called Simple J. Malarkey. who looked and fulminated so much like the late U.S. Senator Joe McCarthy that several newspapers took instant offense. e.g., the Orlando...
