LaTeX guru needed!
Hi. I'm writing a work that has large amounts of commentary which is 
subordinate to the main text.  These are not really footnotes but small
paragraphs which I wish to float to the bottom of the page.
I have used floating Tables and Figures but I cannot hack together a way
of floating boxes of text to the bottom of a page.  It is critical that
I be able to use index and bibliographic references in these boxes of 
commentary at the bottom of the page.

What can I do to mimic the floating of Tables and Figures, but this time
with boxes of text???
This is in LaTeX.  

Solutions or pointers to solutions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Victor
