Alexander Cockburn

Alexander Cockburn

With an arsenal of mainstream publications -- The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and The Village Voice -- on his resume, it may seem odd that Alexander Cockburn is described as a "radical journalist" and "leftist author." An articulate writer and consummate devil's advocate, Cockburn has been ruminating about politics for well over two decades; his "Beat the Devil" column has been published in The Nation since 1984.
