Tolerance etc.

Tolerance etc.

[John R. Culleton]

Now and then, particularly with narrow pages, a paragraph just
doesn't come out right and a line sticks into the right margin. 
In plain I always fiddled with \tolerance, \pretolerance and
occasionally used \looseness to fix things up. 

Should I continue to use these primitives or is there a more
Contextish way to handle these situations?

BTW I am using both optical alignment and the hz business. Not
sure that the latter is working.
