PRINCETON'S SUPERMOMS: Barbara Johnson and Grace Sinden welcomed theatergoers to a special preview screening of the new film "Superman Returns" last week at the Garden Theater. The film has ties to Princeton through Ms. Johnson and Ms. Sinden. The former is the mother of the late Christopher Reeve, who was the iconic Man of Steel in four films from 1978 to 1987. Ms. Sinden's son, Bryan Singer, directed the new movie. A documentary about the making of the film and the history of Superman was shown at the Princeton Public Library on Thursday, June 29.

Roundabouts are the buzz around town. First proposed by two Township consultants in fall 2005 as one of several possible remedies to deal with increased truck traffic and high speeds along Route 206, a smaller version of a similar configuration could be used in a $500,000 rehabilitation effort for Cleveland Lane.

Linda Arntzenius

Though not as well known in the United States, Tintin, with his distinctive tuft of blond hair and his thoughtful dog Snowy, is as recognizable in Europe as Superman or Mickey Mouse is in this country.

The "intrepid boy reporter" whose adventures have delighted children and adults around the world for generations has been described as a visual icon of the 20th century.

Tintin and I, a documentary film about the character and his Belgian creator, Hergé, kicks off the Princeton Public Library's new P.O.V. Previews Series tonight, Wednesday, July 5, at 7 p.m.
