I agree with Peter, the float:left, float:right is the easiest way to handle
this situation. 
Play around with the percentages to get the right amount of space between
the columns, but give yourself some slop factor to avoid any problems with
the two columns not fitting. You could also float the container to avoid the
clear:both from throwing off any future floated columns.

I think the definition list is a good approach for this content.
