article class

[Holger Zebner]

Hello,
I need to write a short paper and want to use the article class. The title should apear just below the heading and before the table of contents. But when I mark the title it and generate a preview the title and headings are put on an extra title page. How can I avoid that?
I used the AMS class, which works well but has too large margins on the page sides.
How can I also minimize the space between contents and text? It's just a small article so I don't wanna waste paper?

Thanks.
