Agreed, it was awful.  I tried to make it a little better by putting it 
in a pretty box, fixing the (lack of) vertical whitespace and reducing 
it to only three different font sizes.  The text remains the same.

It could still be a lot better.  I know we have Wikipedians who are 
really good at this stuff, can we find one and let them have at it?
