Line at a time scripts in csh

I have a file with two words on each line, and want to
process them in a shell script, but can't figure out
how to get *the entire line* into a variable.
I tried:
foreach i (`cat file`)
#misc processing
end
but i was set to each word, not line.
Then I tried the same thing, but adding quotes at the beginning and
end of every line in the input file. Basically the same thing happened,
even though from the prompt,
foreach i ("One Two")
echo $i
end
echoed the words on the same line.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
