Alistair Cooke has passed away at age 95.

I have many fond memories of his "Letter from America" broadcasts
dating back more than 25 years ago. These letters were everything
that real Journalism and commentary should aspire to be. Some day I
hope to introduce these wonderful radio essays to my kids when they
can appreciate them.


It's nice to see something that the majority in the NG seem to agree upon.
I used to watch Masterpiece Theater many years ago.. and Alistair Cooke was
always the epitome of class.
