Alexander Cockburn, Left-Wing Writer, Dies at 71 - NYTimes.com:
"His attachment to left-wing journalism — and controversy — was forged very early on. His father, Claud Cockburn, while covering the Spanish Civil War for The Daily Worker, joined the Republican forces fighting the rebellion of Francisco Franco. (Claud Cockburn, under a pseudonym, also wrote novels, including “Beat the Devil,” which was made into a film with Humphrey Bogart and which his son used as the title of his column in The Nation.)"
