I don't think you can float inline elements like span. This is a slight
hack, but how about:
<p class="title">Michael Collins</p>
<p style="float:right;"><a href="default.html>Back to Home</a></p>
<div class="clear:both;"></div>
....the rest of the content....
Of course, instead of an inline style for the empty div, you might want
to declare a class for it, and set line-height or margins for it.d
