How do I make my paragraph wrap inside my div? It is currently overflowing outside of the div and I have no idea how to stop the paragraph from overflowing over the edge. I do not want a scroll bar with:

overflow: scroll;

and the other overflow options don't seem to help here either... I have the following code:

div {
 width: 1200px;
 margin: 0 auto;
}
.container {
 overflow: hidden;
}
.content {
 width: 1000px;
 float: left;
 margin-left: 0;
 text-align: left;
}
.rightpanel {
 width: 190px;
 float: right;
 margin-right: 0;
 }

<div class="container">
   <div class="content">
   <p>Some content flowing over more than one line</p>
   </div>
   <div class="rightpanel">
   <!-- content -->
   </div>
</div>

Edit:

<div class="container">
<div class="content">
<div class="leftcontent">           
</div>
<div class="newsfeed">
<div class="newsitem">
