I believe you are running up against the different ways margin properties 
behave for block elements <p> and inline elements <br>.

Basically, margin-top and margin-bottom values have no effect on inline 
elements.  They are applied, but they will not vertically push any other 
content away from the content with margins.  The margins will overlap any 
content above and/or below the content with margins and since margins are 
transparent this has no visible effect.

...CSS; style.css
...
...Please see the first main paragraph.
...
...I have been experimenting with replacing multiple br's with margin-bottom
...of varying heights.  For some reason, this code will not work.
...<br class="lf2" /> but this does <p class="lf2">&nbsp;</p>.
...In both cases the css is :
....lf2{
...margin-bottom: 20px;}
...
....lf3{
...margin-bottom: 130px;}
...
...These values are just for "playing."  Thanks for all advice!  Arnie
