I'd greatly appreciate having eyeballs other than mine looking at the
attached code. It compiles file both as a python program and using pdflatex
to produce the output. But, ... it prints the table on the second page,
despite there being plenty of room for it on the first page.
No matter how often I look at the code, I don't see what's pushing the
table to the next page. Probably fresh eyeballs will spot it right away.
Thanks,
Rich
