R help - Jun 2008 - simple data question

if I wanted to use a name for a column with two words say Dick Cheney and
George Bush
can I put these in quotes "Dick Cheney" and "George Bush" to
get them to
read into R using both read.table and read.zoo to recognize this.
thanks

Stephen

should work - don't even have to put them in quotes, if your field 
separator is not space. why don't you just try it and see what comes out? :)
