Using table based markup is not the answer. However, iff you don't need to support IE7 or lower, you can use display:table to solve this. Check out this demonstration I threw together.
Edit the amount of content in the second child div to see the effect.
While tables have gotten a bad reputation, this would be a good application for one.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
