Subject: Can LaTeX Vertically Span Entries in Tabular Environment?

Is it possible (i.e., easy for us beginners) to make 
an entry in a 'tabular environment' vertically span 
several rows?

For example: I want a number (e.g., 144) to 
	vertically span 2 rows in this table: 

	--------------------------------------------------
	row 1        12   13    144    10    10    etc.
	row 2        12   11            9     8    etc.
	--------------------------------------------------

Lamport's book does not mention vertical spanning.
Since tbl/troff can do it, I assume (hope) LaTeX can??

Thanks
