hi jay

the w3 specs are quite difficult to read

however, there are plenty of good tutorials if you follow the links on the
css page --

  http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/

anyhow, all you need to do is concentrate on what the tags mean

specifically, BODY, DIV, P, etc. are containers, so if you specify a value
for text-align, it applies to the stuff that they, um, contain

so since, as you point out, the HR is within the BODY, then what you'll
want to do is apply text-align to BODY (admittedly, it should really have
been called contents-align)

make sense?

now all you have to do is prevent text-align:center from inhereting into
your P's and you're all set

   P{text-align:left}
