I agree with your comment on the human condition -- very well put....
FYI NPR's "Morning Edition" had a 5-minute piece on Cooke at 6:25 AM local
time; this piece should re-air at :25 past even UTC hours and then be availalble
on-demand at the NPR site.

If you'll look
at the bottom of the page you'll notice
A special
tribute to Alistair Cook will be broadcast on BBC Radio Four at 2100 BST on
Tuesday 30 March, 2004 and on World Service at 1030 GMT, 1430GMT (not Europe)
and 2130 GMT (Europe) on Tuesday 30 March, 2004.
Also, see the

demand of this program:

Well, most of
us will die younger without having accomplished as much. So if death in these
circumstances is sad then the entire human condition is
sad.
