This is all part of the centenary of Alistair Cooke's birthday, which
occurs this week.

Also on BBC Radio 4 yesterday (Tuesday):

Remembering Alistair Cooke

James Naughtie presents a tribute to Alistair Cooke, who would have
been 100 this week. Friends, family and colleagues remember his life
and career in broadcasting, including the late Charles Wheeler and his
biographer, the late Nick Clarke.

As well as his weekly Letter from America broadcasts, the programme
appraises his work in television and as a public speaker and essayist,
his interest in sport and jazz, and his many friendships with some of
the leading lights of politics, music, sport and Hollywood.

Mamet delivers this year's lecture before an invited audience at the
newly opened Broad Stage in Santa Monica, California. The subject of

America Editor Justin Webb.

of luck. They're out there, and they're whispering. - Clive Cussler
