Does anyone have a set of rules about when something should be set in
"small-caps"?  As I was reading through _Time_ this week, I noticed
small caps being used several times.  However, I couldn't figure out
the method to their madness, because they didn't set every word that
was in all capital letters in small-caps.  Any pointers?  Good
references on the subject?

Thanks.
