  2. What a mind. I think the coolest thing about Alex Cockburn's personality is that he knows himself so well, knows what he likes and is just as complex in thoughts of social issues as he is in art and aesthetic. I Love Alex!!! Yes, he's "radical" indeed, a rad kind of radical that stems from the truth wiith no hidden blunderous obscurity of fallacy. Never to be stifled by the vice grip any incidious media enterprise. I trust him a great deal.
