 `a piece of boilerplate, 4 words.  I'm using book style, and I don't

 `though not on first pages of chapters.  Naturally, I'm not aware of
 `anything in the footer code changing interim.

LaTeX switches to pagestyle plain on first pages of chapters. You can give
a \thispagestyle command on each chapter to change that.

Alternatively you can use my fancyheadings.sty which gives you very much
freedom to specify your headers and footers with a few simple commands. 

Get it from the clarkson archive or from ours:
ftp from sol.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5], directory pub/TEX/latexstyle, or
request from mail-server@cs.ruu.nl (send a HELP message first),
The files are fancyheadings.doc and fancyheadings.sty.
