When I was a freshman in high-school, my American history teacher exposed us to Alistair Cooke's America series throughout the year. I was spellbound by Alistair Cooke's presentation and amazing insight into American history. I look forward to the day my son will be old enough to be exposed to his works, as well.
With Alistair Cooke's passing we have lost a great historian, journalist, and, especially needed in these times, Americanophile. "And so the fairy-tale ends."
My biggest fear is that after I'm dead, my writings will be referred to as 'confused clutchings.'
