...square solemnity and turned capricious. A crash helmet by Bell-Toptex Inc.'s Frank Heacox and Roy Richter becomes a more modern exoskull, whose transparent visor frees, yet protects, nose, eyes and jaw. A single-finned surfboard, made of fiber-glassed balsa, is-above and below its shallow water line-both a platform and a watery missile. A laminated archer's bow, by Bill Stewart of Bear Archery Co., is the winglike translation of the human biceps, and thus its 35-lb. pull ally...
...resonant, deep-chested baritone is heard to best advantage in River Chanty, a heave-ho work song with chorus that evokes the lure and lore of ol' man river. The score's low-water mark is struck in a rankly commercial number entitled Apple Jack, a shallow echo of some of Weill's earlier work. "Weill's best melodies are like glue," exclaims Rosenstock. "If you listen to them, they stick." The most adhesive refrain in Huckleberry is called This Time Next Year and expresses Jim's dream of freedom. Sung by Thomas Carey...

TIVOLI GARDENS PLAYGROUND. The Danes are adept at entertaining children, and they take it seriously. Created by 13 of Denmark's top artists and architects, the playground is modeled after Copenhagen's. Kids can sail paper boats in shallow canals or swoop down a slippery slide into a sandbox, sit at tiny-tot tables and watch fireflies flit in the trees or play hide-and-seek in a maze with magic mirrors...
...pops with a crack like a .38 pistol. If the marlin does decide to stay and dance awhile, he rolls in the wire leader, smashes away at it with his bill, swims off on long curving runs to get a slack "belly" in the line. If that fails, in shallow water he will sometimes jam his bill tightly into the sand or cut himself off on a reef; in deep water he sounds, staying down until he dies-and not even a size 44 can reel a 1,000-lb. carcass up from 150 fathoms...
