I need to create a table like so in plain TeX:

	________________________________________________
	| word	| blah blah blah blah blah blah blah b |
	|	| blah blah blah blah blah blah blah b |
		.....
	| word  | ....				       |
	------------------------------------------------

Where "blah blah" is a sentence that wraps. How do I get TeX to wrap a
sentence in a table. Note, the above isn't specific to two-column tables,
but I need it for 3+ column tables.
