Long, continuous facet names extend beyond facet border (ie Subject: Astronomy/Astrophysics). Look into how this is handled on other sites. Truncate? Smaller font?

Found a nice CSS solution to this and applied it to the facet category names, as well as the links.

Tested on 3/12 with all browsers.

Works well, mostly it crops a word and continues with -restofword on next line. Opera and IE do not crop words.
