Does anybody know of a way to place two figures (or tables) side by
side in a LaTeX document?  It seems that LaTeX puts the figures in 
a \parbox of width \textwidth so it would not seem possible without
changing \textwidth in the middle of the document. The LaTeX book 
recommends setting \textwidth only in the prologue. Any help would
be appreciated. 
                                           Thanks,
                                           Rob Scharein
