		Bennett Cohen was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1951.
		Ben interned as a craft therapist at Jacobi Hospital in the Bronx and at the Grand Street Settlement House on the Lower East Side.

	Ben & Jerry's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Childhood friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield took a correspondence course in ice cream-making from Penn State University-- Agriculture 5150-- and founded the company in 1978 in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont.
		To coincide with the lawsuit Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield also began the "What is the Doughboy afraid of?" campaign to raise public awareness.

	Ben's Big Flop
		Cohen formed CPI, with Cultural Survival as the company's agent and broker for Brazil nuts and cashews harvested by native cooperatives in the Amazon rain forest.
		For her, Cohen's periodic visits eased the tedium, and her first profit-sharing check, for $1,125.59, based on four months' work in 1990, affirmed that working at CPI was not just another job.
		Although Cohen was nominally the president and chairman of CPI, he maintained his office at Ben & Jerry's and made increasingly infrequent visits to his fledgling company, according to several former CPI employees.

	Ben Cohen \| www.bergonline.co.uk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Rugby star Ben Cohen may not officially be Jewish or a fully paid-up member of the tribe, but that doesn’t stop him from announcing that he has long-distance Yiddish roots.
		Cohen was born in 1978 in Northampton, and comes from a long line of famous sporting relatives; his uncle, George (on his father’s side) was a member of the 1966 England World Cup Squad, and played for Fulham (whom Cohen also supports).
		This should be a giveaway in itself, as a Cohen is a Jewish priest, and it’s hard to disagree that having Ben in the England team is a blessing, which no doubt helped towards England’s victory.

	Washington Monthly: Ben Cohen: one who took a different path
		Cohen was involved in a number of important wartime transactions between America and its allies.
		Cohen later served as U.S. delegate to the U.N. General Assembly, U.S. representative to the International Court, and chief U.S. member of the U.N. Disarmament Commission.
		Cohen told Rauh he had spurned his former partner, who by then was a controversial lobbyist, because, "I can't do that kind of practice.' Instead, Cohen retired to the position of active elder statesman.

		Ben Cohen: We felt like there were all these Bush-bashing books that were out there -- people love talking about how bad Bush is -- but there really wasn’t anything that was talking about what you as an individual can do to make sure the guy doesn’t get reelected.

		Cohen and Greenfield started Ben and Jerry's in a converted gas station in Burlington 25 years ago, and have long made social activism part of their business plan.
		Cohen bitches about business practices but doesn't mention that he fought a unionization of his plants tooth and nail and he forgets about closing down his company child care center because it was too expensive.

		The co-founder of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream is on the road, towing a 12-foot-tall effigy of President Bush with fake flames shooting out of the pants.
		Ben Cohen says it's an acceptable way to point out what he calls the president's lies.
		Ben and Jerry's pioneered "mobile promotions" when Cohen and co-founder Jerry Greenfield took a recreational vehicle across the country and doled out ice cream on a nationwide "scooping tour," in lieu of expensive national advertising.

	The Evil Empire: The Scoop on Ben & Jerry's Crunchy Capitalism, by Hanna Rosin
		Ben and Jerry's ended up buying more than 95 percent of the nuts from commercial suppliers, including one shipment from the Mutran family, a notorious agribusiness that was reported in the Brazilian press to have killed labor organizers.
		Ben and Jerry's has always defined itself as the polar opposite of Haagen- Dazs: their competitor is 'worldly and elegant,' they are the underdog, 'funky and unpretentious.' 'Do you think the Doughboy is afraid of the The American Dream?' BandJ's pamphlets taunted.
		Ben and Jerry's ultimate contribution is a more conservative one: translating the spirit of the '60s into ad copy: 'You know it will sell, because Dead paraphernalia always sells,' wrote the two anonymous hippies who suggested calling a new flavor Cherry Garcia.

	Ben Cohen & Jerry Greenfield speaks for International Speakers Bureau
		Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield are the men behind one of the most talked-about, and least conventional success stories in American business.
		Cohen attended both Colgate University and Skidmore College, but consistently found himself drawn to a less "traditional" career path that included jobs as a Pinkerton guard at Saratoga Raceway, night mopper at Jamesway and Friendly's, cab driver, emergency room clerk, and, most prophetically, "ice cream man" (complete with his own truck).
		Cohen and Greenfield soon became known throughout Vermont for their rich, unusual flavors and community-oriented approach to business.

	Ben Cohen's New Anti-Sweatshop Efforts
		Even though Cohen sold his company, Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., to Unilever two years ago, and could retire with a lifetime supply of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, he's still using his creative powers to change policy on the issues he cares about.
		Cohen hopes his new nonprofit will draw the power of some 50 million Americans who are too busy to follow each and every issue in Congress that concerns them.
		Cohen's goal includes getting money out of politics, ensuring equal treatment under the law for all, and persuading U.S. leaders to sign world treaties.

	Read it through the grapevine \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Ben Cohen, co-founder of Vermont-based Ben and Jerry's, has come up with "50 Ways You Can Show George the Door in 2004." With co-author Jason Salzman, the white-bearded, jovial Cohen proudly showed off his latest invention, a regime-change device called the Sidewalk Chalk Stamper.
		Cohen – no relation to Ben – wrote about his home in "Lake Effect," his third book and a memoir, after covering New York and environs in "Tough Jews," about Jewish gangsters of the 1920s and '30s, and "The Avengers," about Jewish partisans who waged guerrilla war against the Nazis in Europe.
		Cohen doesn't deny that, but he puts it in perspective – and, up to a point, defends the record producers.

		Ben & Jerry’s challenges the good citizens of the U.K. to suggest a new ice cream with a “veddy British flavour.” Though there were “Grape Expectations” for “Rolling Scones,” Britons maintained their “Stiff Upper Flip” by proclaiming “Cool Britannia™” the crown jewel of the contest.

		Cohen, who is chairman of Ben & Jerry's, and Greenfield, who is the company's vice chairman, grew up in Merrick in the 1950s and '60s, around the corner from one another, but never met until an autumn day in 1963, when they were trying to make it around the track at the junior high gym.
		Nonetheless, Cohen, an energetic kid with a lot of unorthodox ideas, was editor of the high school yearbook, the Pacer.
