[OS X TeX] squeezing table rows

[Peter Pagin]

Hi KL,
maybe I haven't fully understood what you need, but I simply use

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{x}

where x is a factor multiplying the default value 1 of row spacing 
(Lamport 2nd ed. p 207). I don't know if this solves your problem.

Best,
Peter
