I have the following line between my \maketitle and my \begin{abstract}:

\center{ \textsc{Some text here} } 

This seems to cause the ENTIRE DOCUMENT to be formatted as centered. Why is this and how should I get around it?

Part two: Is there a way to get some text to appear only when the [draft] option is active.

For example, when the draft option is active, I want some text to appear between my title and abstract: "draft: do not cite without permission" or some such.
