Hi Hraban,

That works perfectly.  I didn't know about that command before, and my
google searches to find something like that didn't turn anything up.
Undoubtedly I used the wrong search terms.

I tried putting the \placefigure and the itemize in a box, thinking that if
all else failed I could put a negative \vskip at the bottom to make the box
shorter.  However, when I tried putting all that in a \vbox I got some
error messages which were not immediately illuminating (to me).

Thanks for the pointer.
