I am about to begin a newsletter project and I am wondering what the "right"
way to format sentences is. 

Back in the old typewriter days, TWO spaces after a period was the standard.
Now, however, it seems like people are using only ONE space.

Which is correct?  Does it depend on the situation, i.e. one space in news-
letters, articles, etc. and two spaces in correspondence, theses, etc.

I know this may seem trivial, but in the interest of "professionalism", I would
like to know...

Thanks...
