While it is easy to just change baselineskip, the style doublesp.sty (or doublespace.sty for those not limited by dos to 8 characters) does a nice job of allowing doublespacing and keeping a few things a bit prettier. As other posters have noted, the preamble to this style warns against using doublespacing. The style is in clarkson.
