But if you find yourself fiddling with things in this
manner, it is generally a sign that you have taken the wrong
path to your desired destination.  Generally speaking,
authors using LaTeX should not be fiddling with document
forgmatting at this level, IMHO.  Perhaps displaymath will
prove a better option.
