1.  How can I produce this with LaTeX?

   |where X is the ......|
   |      .....          |
   |      Y is ..........|
   |      ....           |

The vertical bars mark the two sides of the page.  I tried this:

   where
   \parbox[t]{\fill}{
   x is the .....
   ..\\
   y is the ...
   .......} 

I expect \fill to give the length from where the parbox begins to the
right margin. However, it gives a 0.

2. I need to typeset a table with some of the entries rotated. Can I do
this with LaTeX?

Thanks in advance.
