That would have been Alexanders “Cockburn”...hard-core Leftist. Hadn’t heard that name in over 30 years (and counting).

Yup. That Cockburn used to be obligatory reading in college back in the day, along with Parenti and Alinski excerpts.
Alexander Cockburn died of cancer in 2012, so this person is someone else.
Probably a relation because, as we all know, journalistas don’t have to prove themselves when they have parents with famous names.
