CSS text align question

    Apologies if I'm asking a really dumb question and I definitely feel I'm missing something obvious but I've started banging my head against the wall on this one.

    I'm doing the whole re-design without tables bit and I've hit a stumbling block.

    What I basically want to do is have a variable length of text with a status at the end of the line (with the end bit lining up vertically).

    Since that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, here's a sample:
    HeadlineHeadline....new
    Headline................old
    Headlinehead.........old
    Hea.....................new

    What I'm wondering is, how I get the status column to right-align and the headline's to left align with the variable space between them.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
