[OS X TeX] Stretching a page

[David Arnold]

All,

I have a floating figure that won't fit at the bottom of the page. I  
absolutely need to run a \clearpage to position this figure at the top  
of the next page.

I running memoir class. Can someone tell me how to stretch out the  
stuff on the page with the \clearpage so that I don't have a 2inch  
junk of whitespace at the bottom of the page?
