It's a little hard to visualize from your description. When you say 
"in the margin," do you mean the top margin, where headers usually 
are placed, or the side margin, where headers sometimes are placed to 
suit specific layout requirements?

For the top margin case, you could change the line from "Jaws" after 
the shark ate the stern, from  "We're going to need a bigger boat," 
to "We're going to need a bigger text header frame on the master 
page."

The text is overflowing its text frame. Depending on your needs and 
preferences, you could either make the text frame wider, to keep the 
long heading on one line, or you could make it taller, to allow the 
line to wrap. Perhaps both?
