...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 the Grendels and the Court of his ferocity. The truth comes out in the end, of course, but after the usual reversals, schemes and near-weddings...
...Husband: "Did your chisel break?") Predictable references to topical material (Dane refusing to fight the Grendels: "My lottery number is 360") are no relief.

Hugging or Violating. Authors Tunnard and Pushkarev emphasize the need for an "essential unity of plan and profile"-a short sag on a long curve, for instance, should be avoided in favor of the harmonious gradual one. In fact, the authors recommend continuously curving roadways, on the ground that they not only are more esthetic, but also tend to keep the driver interested and therefore alert. Surprisingly, in the average terrain, such highways are very little, if any, longer, and no more expensive to build than the standard design of straight stretches connected by short curves. Uniform median width should...
