Writer's Voice Radio Sundays at 6pm t the age of 95, Alistair Cooke has decided to retire from A writing Letter From America, on the advice of his doctors. "I can no longer continue my Letter From America. Throughout 58 years I have had much enjoyment in doing these talks and Anthony Swofford hope that some of it has passed over to the listeners, to all of whom 1now say thank you for your loyalty and goodbye." The Letters began in 1946 and have been broadcast weekly since then. Over the 58 years, Alistair Cooke has written his Letter every Thursday on his typewriter in the flat overlooking Central Park in New York. In that extraordinary span of time, he has missed only three broadcasts. The Letters gained a world wide audience when they were put out on the BBC's World Service in addition to domestic radio. Cooke summed up his own feelings about Letter From America in 1990: "No pleasure in work well done, in a lifetime of journalism, can compare with the evidence that comes in from the mail that Edwidge Danticat III'" you have done a talk that touched the hearts and minds of a bus Iii driver in Dorset, a judge in Canberra, a student in Bombay, a See page 17 ,,' "1 continued on page 14 :~I 1'1 "1 April/May/]une 2004 !
