There is nothing evil about tables, which are a part of html and as
such serve the purpose of marking up tabular content. If the content
is naturally tabular, then it is wrong to mark it up other than with a
table.

Sounds like you basically want a 2-column layout, minus the header/footer.
You don't say what content will go in these boxes, so I'm assuming they
should expand as necessary
