I often hear it that LaTeX/TeX makes headings (such as chapter, 
section etc.) that are way too big and the spaces that it leaves
around them is also more than necessary. Generally the people who have
told this to me do not use LaTeX/TeX but prefer some PC based
word processing software. So far this was not a problem for me, my
standard approach being `TeX gurus know the best and I really know
very little about typesetting'. 

The recent difficulties have arisen while I am trying to write a 
master's thesis. The powers that be feel that headings should be
smaller. Would some kindly net-folk please suggest some nice 
convincing arguments in my favor. I realize that it may not be too 
difficult to find some quick fix for this but I don't want to do 
that. By the way, I am writing in 12pt doublespaced text (official 
requirements).

Thank you for your help,
Rakesh
