Mark, the annual "IMO Meteor Shower Calendar" has radiant sizes,
but only for *featured* showers of that year. However, both the
GIAs and ORIs happen to be featured in this year's! See:
        http://www.imodot net/calendar/cal98.html

(The GIAs are listed as having a 5o radius, the ORIs as 10o! But
note that the appropriate radiant size to assume depends on your
meteor's distance from that radiant, due to alignment error...)

NOTE: The IMO site also already has a nice summary of this year's
Draconid activity, in the often-updated "News and Events" page at:
        http://www.imodot net/news/news.html

Clear skies!
Lew
