...usual, TIME sent queries to its correspondents in a dozen cities, including one to TIME'S Stockholm stringer, E. M. Salzer. He went to Uddevalla, Sweden, to talk to Lisa's family, and there learned that the family name, now Bernstone, had been changed from Anderson. Hardly had the story reached the newsstands, when Miss Fremd received an excited call from Lisa. "Is that true about my name being Anderson?" she asked. "I'm absolutely flabbergasted.

Only her brother, a retired army captain, has reservations. "We don't quite know what it is Lisa is doing," he explains, "but I am sure it must be getting on her nerves...
Before he got out of school in his home town of Uddevalla, Axel Leonard Wenner-Gren had a shrewd eye for the main chance. Swedish legend relates how at the age of nine he developed a thriving business in baskets and ash trays woven from tin strips dumped outside herring canneries, how he organized his playmates to make and sell his product, how he thrashed them when their salesmanship was poor. Son of a Swedish count, he later worked in Gothenburg but, restless and energetic, went to Berlin to learn big business. Later, like Ivar Kreuger, he worked and traveled...
