Best way to truncate titles News Pro Theme

[CJWheels]

Working here: http://celebrouhaha.com/

Client wants the two rows of middle boxes to be completely even (meaning the titles line up regardless of how long they are). Initially, I put a:

// Limit Post Title
function titlelimitchar($title){
if(strlen($title) > 21 && !(is_single()) && !(is_page())){
$title = substr($title,0,21) . "..";
}
return $title;
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'titlelimitchar' );

in the front-page.php, but that truncated all titles on the home page, which they don't want. Is there a way to truncate titles in just the home middle section while leaving the home top and home bottom alone?

I'm not finding it.

Well, I kind of rigged it to work. For the home-middle sections, I added this:

.home-middle .featured-content .entry-title {
height: 25px;
overflow: hidden;
}

Not sure if it's the right way to do it, but it got me where I needed to be. Curious to hear if anyone else would do it differently.
