As the cowboy said, `there ain't no sech animal.' (1/2 :-) ) More seriously: double spacing (or, better, 1.5-spacing) makes some sense for typewritten text. For most typesetting, where the lines are shorter but contain as many words, it is ridiculous. Universities require it only because Universities are run by administrologies. (Administrology: a group combining the worst features of bureaucracies administration with the worst features of superstition.) -- `They were supposed to be green.'
