I have a paper I am trying to typeset in twocolumn mode using the twocolumn
style.  In the paper, I have several tables which are too wide to fit in a
single column while in twocolum mode.  However, LaTeX attempts to squeeze them
in (with poor results).

Is there a simple solution to getting wide tables formatted properly in a
twocolum paper, or am I going to need to switch between one and two column
mode?  Also, I'd prefer not to push the tables to the end of the paper.

Thanks
Brian
