Not in HTML. These would be described as "newspaper columns" and
they're a useful feature in paper-based typesetting. It's a limitation
in HTML/CSS that it just doesn't do flow models in this way. You can do
it through XSL:FO or PDF though.
OTOH, they're a damn nuisance to read on the web (or on screen at all)
because our scrolling tends to be quite linear and a "long page" isn't
the problem it would be with physical paper. Try reading a long PDF,
like an academic paper, some time. They're often laid out with 3 or 4
columns for printing on A4, but they're a nuisance to read on screen.
