^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Bingo!  I did a \hyphenpenalty=10000 and all my problems went away...
(well, almost all:  now I have to figure out how to get a footnote

Thanks for the reply!  If anyone knows how to tackle the second problem
(same footnote on all the pages)  please email me.  My email address is:
