[Quiet Man Cometh]

Ouch. Yeah, it was my poli-sci teacher that said that he's trash anything over six pages. I can within one line of it, and only after lowering the font size from 12 to 11. I've had to do that on more than one occasion, adn have yet to find a teacher who called me on it. Another trick I used to use was lowering the spacing from double to one and a half spacing. It usually gives you an extra few lines at the bottom.

I did have a paper where I went shooting over the page count, but I didn't get in trouble because it was due to a very large appendix.
