Answer 1

Add a span and make it float:left and also add the span for the <p> tag and make it float:right. At the same time if you want to do for the below div you can do the same.

 <div class="person1" style="float:left; display:inline-block; ">
        <span style="float:left;width: 20%;">
            <img src="http://www.ninahale.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Google.jpg"  
             width="70" height"70" />
        </span>
        <span style="float:right;width: 80%;">
            <p style="float:right; display:block;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,    
                    consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer arcu mauris, ullamcorper et 
                    ligula vitae, hendrerit sodales tellus. Maecenas quis pulvinar 
                    lacus.
            </p>
        </span>
 </div>

What about a table and two TDs?

   <div>
    <table>
        <td><img src=simonwilliams.jpg width="auto" height"auto" clear:both;/>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer arcu mauris, ullamcorper et ligula vitae, hendrerit sodales tellus. Maecenas quis pulvinar lacus.
        </td>
        <td>
<img src=simonwilliams.jpg width="auto" height"auto" clear:both;/>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer arcu mauris, ullamcorper et ligula vitae, hendrerit sodales
  tellus. Maecenas quis pulvinar lacus.
        </td>
    </table>
</div>
