Is it possible to have a portion of a text turned 90 degrees

bottom? The rest of the text, of course, would be standard horizontal
left-right text. A search on CTAN didn't turn up anything, but I image
that there is a .sty running around somewhere that could handle this.

In the preamble:
\usepackage{rotating}
and in the text
\rotatebox{-90}{<your text>}
Note that you want see the text rotated in the DVI output.
You must view the Postscript output.
This works for small texts, but for entire paragraphs the sentence just runs
off the page in one long line. Putting it within a minipage also did not
work. Sorry, I guess I should have been more clear that I was dealing with
more than just a couple of words.
\begin{turn}{90}
\begin{minipage}{5cm}% any length
........ a lot of text .........
\end{minipage}
\end{turn}
also possible with rotatebox
