storytelling

From the radiant Robyn Bender, this Edgar Allen Poe quote:

"To speak algebraically: Mr. Mathews is execrable but Mr. Channing is (x+1)ecrable."

My husband, the mathematician, will appreciate this. My daughter, who tried to explain the concept of infinity to me, her math-phobic mother (when she was five, please note) will appreciate it too. For those of you who face the same challenges, I suggest One Two Three . . . Infinity : Facts and Speculations of Science by George Gamow.

I appeal to those of you who know more about css than I do (and that will not be a small number).

You'll note that my paragraphs are wandering further and further apart, like feuding sisters at a family dinner. Looking at my style sheet I can't figure out why that would be. Anybody who'd care to have a look at the stylesheet in question, here's the link: storytelling css.

I would guess it's something obvious that I'm overlooking.
