       | Edit: contrary to easy guesses, the Cockburn that will be most
       | familiar to the readers of the Spectator is not Andrew, the third
       | brother, but a pseudonym inspired by Admiral Sir George Cockburn
       | (see https://thespectator.com/uncategorized/real-cockburn/ ),
       | incidentally related to the family of journalists. Andrew
       | Cockburn (mainly editor of Harper's Magazine) does occasionally
       | write for the Spectator, but is not the "Cockburn" of the
       | vitriolic articles.
