See ?strwrap and ?paste. Also use cat() instead of print().
The double "\\" at the end of each line tells LaTeX to force a line
break. Since R will detect the "\" as an escape character, you need to
double them when cat()ing. I also add a newline ("\n") so that the
output after the "\\" goes to the next line.
