You would have to open the browser wider! 960px is not a size
that occurs in good authoring often, and not without warning or
specific and well understood reasons - like for example on a
photographic site where the author is making big enlargements
available.

Or on private commercial communications where, for example, I
often have up to 1400px wide to let company execs see drafts of
art work (that contains text) in their browsers. They can scroll
or open up their browsers if they have big screens with high res.
