Good Guy
Alistair Cooke, the broadcaster who epitomized highbrow television as host of "Masterpiece Theatre" and whose "Letter from America" was a radio fixture in Britain for 58 years, has died, the British Broadcasting Corp. said Tuesday. He was 95. Cooke died at his home in New York at midnight, a spokeswoman at the BBCâs press office said.I know most everybody has heard about this. But today it seems the UK is center stage. I really enjoyed Alistairs work regarding America. He was such a gentleman and showed tremendous respect. Kind of a twentieth century Toqueville. Anyways blokes, I salute one of yours.
