a. I think you meant overflow: hidden.

b. Unless you add overflow: hidden; to this, greatly enlarged text 
may intrude into the display area (i.e., extend to the right past column 0).

Just to be Absolute Sure (in case there's a browser that doesn't hide 
overflow well), I also size & position these blocks in ems, not 
pixels, so that the off-screen block resizes and repositions itself 
automatically when the user resizes their browser text.
