	woundedheart.org: Encouragement For The Wounded Heart
		In his 1999 biography of Alastair Cooke, the Brit-turned-Yank who helped to interpret the USA for several generations of British, author Nick Clarke tells how Cooke's father, a lay Methodist preacher, helped to found a mission for the down and out in a suburb of Manchester.
		Only as an old man did Samuel Cooke reveal the full seaminess of life at the Mission, blushing as he related to his son tales of roaring drunks and whores, and children abandoned outside pubs.
		The fact that Alastair Cooke rebelled early against the church and went on to become an agnostic about religion suggests that the senior Cooke may have used the same passive approach with his own children.

		Cooke's remains were sold by Mastromarino to processing companies Regeneration Technologies Inc., of Alachua, Fla., and Tutogen Medical Inc., of Paterson, N.J., both of which appear to be reputable operations, or at least, not exactly body snatchers.

		After processing, Cooke's bones could have been used for dental implants or numerous orthopedic procedures including dowels for damaged spines...The use of cancerous bone for transplant is a violation of Food and Drug Administration regulations and the use of body parts from the aged also is against transplant protocol.
		But in paperwork given the two processing companies, Mastromarino allegedly changed Cooke's "cause of death" to heart attack and changed his age from 95 to 85, according to sources.
		And Mastromarino has been in the news before; a NJ man sued, alleging bone used in his operation was taken from a corpse without permission from the family of the deceased -- or was tested for disease.

		In a nut-shell: Congress was established to keep an eye on the President who in turn kept an eye on Congress: and an independent Supreme Court was put in place to keep an eye on them both.

		For the balance of the evening, we paid our respect to the late Alastair Cooke who, at first blush, would not seem an appropriate subject for treatment on HJSN.
		However, as we detailed, Cooke (who settled for good in the United States in the late 1930s) was already deeply fond of American jazz, and emceed two broadcasts of American jazz in 1938 and 1939 that were beamed expressly to England.
		Thanks to volunteers and HJSN supporters, Anne and Al Fishman, we were fortunate to have a copy at hand of the Columbia LP, "An Evening with Alastair Cooke," Columbia ML 4970, recorded in the mid-1950s.
