The quick and dirty way to fix this -- assuming that you don't want any
type that size in your document -- is to redefine \Huge and \huge to be
smaller, like this
\let\Huge=\LARGE
\let\huge=\LARGE
or, perhaps
\let\Huge=\Large
\let\huge=\Large
\let\LARGE=\Large
Between the \documentstyle and \begin{document} commands.
Otherwise you will have to redefine the commands
\@makechapterhead \@makeschapterhead
that make the chapter headings and are defined in rep10.sty, bk10.sty,
rep11.sty, and so forth. Copy the definitions into "foo.sty" and change
the sizes to what you want. Anything in LaTeX can be redefined, but much
of it only in a style file. So you have to make your own style file. See
pages 85-87 in the LaTeX manual if you want to do this.
