“Ken McLaughlin (Roddy McDowall) is a precocious 10-year-old who lives with his family on a remote Wyoming ranch. When Ken returns home from school with failing grades, his father, Rob (Preston Foster), blames the boy’s lack of personal responsibility. At the suggestion of his wife, Nell (Rita Johnson), Rob allows Ken to choose a single colt from the herd to raise as his own. Much to his father’s dismay, Ken chooses a fiery mustang filly – but the two soon become fast friends.” – Google

Mary O’Hara’s book on which the film is based was thought to be obscene by some people for its cursing, drinking and, God forbid, the gelding of a horse. The book was banned in some quarters and children were only allowed to read the Reader’s Digest condensed (or should I say “censored”) version of the story. The 1943 film is based on the Reader’s Digest version of things.
I was asked a lot by those fortunate enough to view my 'Everyone Could Use A HERO' fine-art Exhibit: "What does El Che' have to do with any of the other Heroes in the exhibit?' Well it's quite simple, really. Not only is El Che' a HOOD and Pop Art Culture icon, (his T-shirts and memorabilia alone top the records for top-selling items) but I thought how ironic for the right-hand man of Fidel Castro himself to be gone from us after nearly 50 years (his anniversary is this Oct) and still speak to the people plus, have this type of relevancy is beyond human belief. Besides, this is the man who actually sat down and chatted with Malcolm X and played a guitar with John Lennon before their deaths. After studying those facts, plus what the man did for Africa; I had to immortalize his heroic soul. As an Historical Artist, I never capture a soul unworthy of my canvas. Yop, El Che' certainly deserved to be immortalized just as much as any of the other 'HEROES' souls that I captured. (You know those old movies where about ten gunmen would line-up in front of some prisoners for an execution before they yelled 'ready, aim, fire)? Yop. That was El Che' who came up with that idea. Please check the movie 'The Motorcycle Diaries' about Che's early life (before) all the carnage he inflicted. (peace)... *T.M.NOEL/ ANGRYHOUZE, inc.

Below is a portion of the "Hockey Digest" report on one of the most famous fights in Hockey History.
Lou maintains he won the fight.
"Fontinato did indeed rule the hockey wars - until Howe challenged him that famous night in 1959. It all started ironically enough, when a Detroit player thudded against a young Ranger rookie named...Eddie Shack. Shack, still a season away from joining the Maple Leafs, was a main principal in the proceedings, as Fontinato recalls things. Shack was being his usual rambunctious self, and his aggressiveness was lifting the entire Ranger team. Rangers were winning 4-1 when Detroit's Pete Geogan, a hard hitting defenseman, decided to do something about Shack. He bounced him into the boards so hard that Shack's flying body broke a sheet of protective glass bordering the rink. This set up a chain reaction of events in which Shack later tangled with Howe. Shack wobbled away after getting caught up with Howe's stick and later required three stitches.
Fontinato was the Ranger policeman, the self appointed protector of youngsters like Shack. Fontinato remembers skating over to Howe and saying, "Keep your stick to yourself and ay off Shack." It was his job to issue such threats. Thirteen seconds later, Howe and shack collided heavily behind the Detroit net. Howe lost his footing as Shack skated away in pursuit of the puck.
Howe was scrambling to his feet when Fontinato came out of nowhere and knocked him down again with a solid check. Sticks and gloves hit the ice, and everyone semed spellbound as Howe and Fontinato rolled and scuffled in the area between the goal and the end boards. Howe snatched Fontinato by the shirt and tagged him with a series of uppercuts. Fontinato got in a few good shots himself, dislocating Howes finger and opening a gash over one of his eyes. Several days later it was also discovered that Howe's ribs were broken. Press accounts of the event varied wildly. According to the New York papers, the confrotation lasted les than a minute and the outcome was indecisive, but a Detroit paper put it a full 3 minutes and declared breathlessly that Gordie Howe was the new heavyweight champion of hockey. What made Fontinato clearly a loser were the photos published in the next day's papers his nose, already broken four times, was mashed and bloody and looked like a rudder swung hard to starboard. Though each played the remainder of the game without incident, after the game Fontinato entered the hospital for surgery on his busted nose. "
