Tables are really hard to get right automagically and Bookman is a
dense font.  Unfortunately on short runs of text (like a table cell)
paragraph breaker is not very good at evaluating "badness" of line
breaking choices, so in your case it prefers a very tight one (hint:
use -dof (for "object fill") to trace paragraph breaker).

I usually check if my cells look ok and if some are not - I just fill
those that aren't manually (perhaps, tweaking column widths as well in
the process).
