There are various things you could do:

(1) put in a height:

/* IFRAME defaults */

iframe {width: 100%; border: 0; height: 12em;}

just about gets it.

(2) improve the situation by not having the heading words "The
Carrier Project" wrap in this design (need help on this?) and
then being able to settle on a smaller em size for height (a
"good thing" because it is not good taking up too much height
space for non content stuff
