 | | In advancing such causes as an activist political journalist, Cockburn, who was born in Ireland and came to the United States in 1972, acts in a family tradition. |
 | | His father, Claud Cockburn, was a well-known radical journalist who was Washington correspondent for the London Times in the 1930s, fought in the Spanish Civil War and published, with his wife, Patricia, a newsletter called "The Week," which was read by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, among others. |
 | | Two of Cockburn's brothers are also accomplished journalists -- Andrew Cockburn is writing a series on Africa for National Geographic, and Patrick Cockburn is Moscow correspondent for the London Independent. |
