...Captain. "When he retires, maybe then I'll think about it." Keeshan celebrated the show's silver anniversary last week in New York along with his family, his cast and some former guest stars. Naturally no Kangaroo court would be complete without the Captain's steadfast companion for a quarter-century, Hugh ("Lumpy") Brannum, better known as Mr. Green Jeans. Like Keeshan or, for that matter, George Burns, Brannum has no intention of hanging up his overalls. "It's been a banner year," he crowed. "Not only did we tape our 7,000th show and complete...
...developed with much style. There is none of the menace and mystery that attended a similar conflict in Robert Redford's 1972 Jeremiah Johnson, which also dealt with the trappers who first explored the West. Brian Keith is at his best as Heston's raffish companion. But Heston seems emblematic of what is wrong with the film. He strives to be as free-spirited as a wanderer of the wilderness should be, but the ease that comes naturally to Keith is beyond him. He is a tired act, and this is a tired movie...

I did not have any "companion" and I did not know of any "German" in the audience...
...Hakansson (and his German female companion Fran Hosken) proceeded to show his grotesque films to an audience of about 25 white (mostly female)students and staff. These films contained no more than redundant sequences of sexual mutilation (clitoridectomy and scarification) of five-and six-year-old black youngsters who were shrieking and fighting during the act and being restrained by older women. Most of the audience literally ran out of the room during the first few minutes of this grotesque scene. Over the protests of Mr. Hakansson and his German companion, I disrupted his presentation and demanded that...
PERHAPS THE PRINCIPAL PROBLEM behind Munter's lack of recognition lies in her relationship with Kandinsky, a genuis of the Blaue Reiter group. At first his student, and then his companion for eight years (difficulty obtaining a Russian divorce from his first wife precluded their marriage), Munter's work was constantly, and unavoidably, compared to an artistic giant who towered above her in his achievement. Mochon, in her catalog accompanying the exhibition (worth the price), describes the role of the women in the Blaue Reiter circle as definitely secondary: in the discussion and planning sessions for an almanac to present...
