I am trying to make the following table in Tex (or LaTeX)...

+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
|                                   | Date:                           |
|                                   +---------------------------------+
|                                   | Time:                           |
|                                   +---------------------------------+
|                                   | Place:                          |
+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------+

With several lines of \Large letters in the box on the left hand side
and a series of left justified texts (above) in the other three...
The line-boxes around them are rule-boxes.

Basically the issue involves putting together a number of horizontal
and vertical boxes together to fill a page.
I would really like to see how one could make a page consisting of a number of 
inter-locking boxes of various sizes with text located within various
places in each box (i.e. centered, top-left aligned, etc...)

+-----+---+--------+----+
|     |   |        |    |
|     +---+        |    |
|     |   +--------+    |
+-----+   |        |    |
|     |   +--------+----+
|     +---+-------------+
+-----+-----------------+

Well, you get the idea...
I will definitely repost any responses I get... (after trying them out
first (:-) and if I figure it out will also repost a followup...
The TeXBook chapter on Alignment is rather sparse with its description 
of these types of functions...

Thanks much...
