Paragraph breaks???

[me]

Hello,

I have a node in my xml that is a block of information. This block has
several paragraphs--how can I maintain the paragraph breaks by using <br/>
from the source thru a xsl tranformation process?
i.e:
<information>
GM has been losing sales in the U.S. to Toyota and other Asian rivals and
has faced enormous health care and post-retirement liabilities.
On Thursday, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services cut its corporate credit
ratings to junk status for both GM and Ford Motor Co., a big blow that will
increase borrowing costs and limit fund-raising options for the nation's two
biggest automakers. The cuts were largely because of increasing concern
about the two companies' dependency on big SUVs for profits.
the cow jumped over the moon.
The 10-year-old, 20-pound male rhesus monkey was first noticed as missing
from the island April 30, the same time residents of Coosaw and Lady's
islands reported seeing him. Some residents were concerned the animal might
carry an infectious disease because Morgan Island houses primates used in
government research.
the spoon and the fork eloped to Saturn
A smiling Putin even put Bush behind the wheel of his prized 1956 Volga, a
pristine white sedan, and let him take it for a spin around the grounds of
his private compound 25 miles west of Moscow. Putin also kidded the
president about Laura Bush's recent comedy routine. The happy picture of the
two presidents summed up a theme that aides on both sides described -
powerful leaders who have a strong relationship and can discuss their
disagreements.
