I'm trying to copy the format I'd developed with OpenOffice.org, where
I used tables to position things where I wanted them.  The
OOo-generated version is at
<http://github.com/downloads/jcsalomon/thesis/Joel%20Salomon%E2%80%99s%20R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9.pdf>
for reference.  I saw no better way of achieving this than tabular &
its relatives; and I landed on tabularx because I thought I'd need the
X option.

I'm open to suggestions, though.
