I had posted a similar request about a year ago on comp.text, and
Stan Dunn from Rutgers explained how it could be done.
Essentially, selective double-spacing can be obtained in LaTeX by defining
two new commands \bdouble and \edouble (begin and end double-spacing!)
and enclosing any material to be double-spaced within these two commands.
These two definitions are:
\newcommand{\bdouble}{\baselineskip 2\baselineskip} % begin double space
\newcommand{\edouble}{\par \baselineskip .5\baselineskip} % end double space
USAGE:
\bdouble
% Stuff to be double-spaced ...
\edouble
