Get directory size?

["George Lenzer" <glenzer chuhpl lib oh us>]

Is there a way to find out how much data a directory contains?  Although
I've been using Linux for close to eight months now, I still haven't found
any obvious way to get 'ls' or 'df' to display the size of a directory's
contents in K or Megs.  Any suggestions?

Thanks
