Yes.  Because the 'Subject' of this thread is such common task 
(for some), I had created the function mult.fig() about ten
years ago (in S-plus times).  That is now part of the 'sfsmisc'
package.

After
 install.packages(sfsmisc)
you can use
 sfsmisc::mult.fig(4, main = main title)

and then do your for plots afterwards.
mult.fig() has the other advantage of using slightly smaller
margins for the single plots, by default, so you get more real
estate for plotting.

You may want to adjust the North parameters for the outer margin area
(oma) and the regular margin (mar):

# oma and mar: c(South,West,North,East)
oldpar - par(mfcol =c(1,4), oma=c(0,0,2,0), mar=c(5.1,4.1,0,2.1))

plot(1)
plot(2)
plot(3)
plot(4)

title(Common title, outer=TRUE)

par(oldpar)

John,

try adding the argument outer=T to the title() function

title(paste(P and 95%CI for a sample size of,n,subjects.), outer=T)

Cheers

Andrew
