How would I make the picture contain itself in the first grey <div>?
Basically, nudge it up
float the image before the text; the image div moves right...
and make the "This FAQ is compiled voluntarily ..." text wrap to its
left?
....& the following text flows into the gap.
However this won't make the div contain the image if the image remains
taller than the flowed text. See

To overcome this problem, you need an object following the text which is
forced to clear the preceeding floated image & will remain in the div
boundary (or you can make the parent div itself floated, as floats do
expand to contain floats).
I thought the following should work, but it doesn't. Leastways, it seems
to in Mozilla, but in IE6 the paragraph texts vanish. Probably me being
stupid. Hopefully you'll get a more helpful answer shortly.
<div class="note">
<div style="float: right"><img src="maestropic.png" alt=""></div>
<p>[snip text]</p>
<p>[snip text]</p>
<hr style="display: block; clear: right; visibility: hidden; margin:
-0.2em 0;" />
</div>
