I've tried it but I also have 
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
in ~/.emacs, and the value of fill-column inherited from text-mode is 
overriding the value I'm trying to set for latex-mode. (I think that 
latex-mode is running its own hooks _then_ the text-mode hooks.) I'd really 
like to set them differently.
