   1) How does one align a column of numbers which need to be right aligned
   under a central heading?

   e.g.        The Heading
		    27
		   113
		  1251
		     4
		  etc.....


\begin{tabular}{c}
The Heading \\
	\begin{tabular}{r}
	  27 \\
	 113 \\
	1251 \\
	   4
	\end{tabular}
\end{tabular}

   2) What do you do if you have a lot of numbers to be aligned on a decimal
   point if the numbers have varying numbers of decimal places?

   e.g.           10.7
		   1.3
		   0.75
		   etc....


\begin{tabular}{r@{.}l}
	10&7 \\
	 1&3 \\
	 0&75
\end{tabular}
