Perhaps I should have been more explicit.  I can always use verbatim as 
a fall-back, but what I want is
something to produce the *latex* code to give something actually 
formatted as a latex table.

Below is
something along the lines of what I want (similar to  t(  
structable(Dept ~ Admit+Gender, UCBAdmissions)) ).
This was written *directly* from an object in SAS/IML by routines I 
wrote some time ago.  I'm looking
for an R equivalent, something that can be used in Sweave documents.
