Nope.  Removed all the "\hspace"s.  The third paragraph (set of \line's) is
still rammed all the way to the left, crossing the gutter.

Actually, changing "\column" to "\center-column" shoves the paragraph left,
beyond the absolute margin ( pixel 0)

When it's "\column" the paragraph is left-aligned, but with a 2-cm or so left
margin
