Jeffrey St. Clair writes a few words

coincidently I posted about him on May 23rd

John Nichols at The Nation

Nieces Olivia Wilde and Chloe Cockburn on Twitter:

Chloe Cockburn: "My uncle #AlexanderCockburn is dead. Fierce, witty, loving, gentle, brilliant to the end. http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/07/21/farewell-alex-my-friend/ …http://www.thenation.com/blog/168996/alexander-cockburn-and-radical-power-word# …"

Wilde: "My uncle, the brilliant, kind, and hilarious Alexander Cockburn, passed away last night. He was my friend, and my hero. RIP Uncle Al."

"He taught me how to make coffee in a jar, how to listen to LPs, how to ride a horse through a river, and how to drive a classic with love."
