...Rebecca Eaton, the "rock star" of educational television. On Sesame Street, a famous Muppet became "Alistair Cookie" on Monsterpiece Theater, and in Peanuts Snoopy imagined himself as "Alistair Beagle." Cooke died in 2004, at 95, and would have been 100 this past Thursday. In celebration, Masterpiece is running an hour-long biography, The Unseen Alistair Cooke, this Sunday, with reruns throughout the week. Even for those unfamiliar with Britain's genial emissary to the U.S., the show (produced and directed by Rachel Jardine) is worth TiVoing for its fond but not uncritical portrait of a man who knew everybody, remembered...
...team played extremely well. Superb,” said assistant coach Mohammad Ayaz, coaching in place of Harvard coach Satinder Bajwa, who was out of town for the weekend.

...government job. Private-sector employers may be cutting deeply into employee benefits, but for local and state governments, the gravy train rides on. Last year state and local governments spent an average of 51% more per employee on benefits and compensation than private-sector employers did, or $39.50 per hour worked versus $26.09, according to the Employee Benefits Research Institute. And the disparity continues to grow...
...will be very difficult for Royal supporters to obtain any Floridian-style recounts - much less win an entirely new vote. That means Aubry, a former Labor and Social Affairs minister and architect of France's now-defunct 35 hour work-week, becomes the first female leader in PS history. Her objective in that post: constructing a Socialist platform rooted in more traditionally leftist policies to win back voters who flocked to Green and Communist parties after years of the PS's centrist drift. She then hopes to build a coalition of all leftist parties to finally mount a challenge...
