...hang their gags, lyrics, and kick-line. Crisis strikes the oversexed and overhung court of King Holroes the Horney of Denmark (Jack Olive) when the man-eating Grendel family, monsters from the nearby Black Lake, emerge to lay claim to Hotroes' frontheavy daughter, Princess Boobhilde (Line Caplan). With the kingdom paralyzed and helpless. Bennet the Serf (Dick Boling), a slave and would-be poet, goes out in search of the legendary Beowulf (Christopher Tunnard), whose prowess alone can save Boobhilde from the monsters. Beowulf turns out to be well past his prime, but he and Bennet manage to convince both...

Canton Under Communism in this way becomes one of the clearest, best written histories of Communist China to date. Unhappily for all but the most bleary-eyed Sinophiles, Vogel some-times buries the story in detail-the footnotes run for almost 40 pages in the back of the book. But blessed with a sociologist's concern for human suffering, he throws out lucid summaries along...
...have the cease-fire renewed, if only to ease the pressure on them and give them time to rearm. But they will not admit it. The closest they have come was the observation last week by Jordan's Foreign Minister Abdul Munem Rifa'i that his beleaguered kingdom has "a positive attitude" to any reasonable Middle East peace plan. Meanwhile Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Sudan met in Cairo last weekend, along with Fedayeen Leader Yasser Arafat. The agenda made no mention of peace or ceasefires. It was concerned mainly with coordination of the war on the eastern...
