I can't say that Cockburn and Hitchens are on the same terrain as writers (or have the same intellectual breadth). (I just read *For Marx*, so I wasn't thrilled at his dig at Althusser though.) Hitchens' very crude "Marxist" mode of analysis is a bit annoying at times, but I really can't stand Cockburn. Maybe I should dig into the archives to find something he wrote back when he was a bit more palatable.
