You're a doormat Gaynor, says Robin Cook's ex-wife
2001
[Margaret] spoke during the election campaign after revealing how [Robin Cook] had snubbed her after winning his Livingston seat last time round. Margaret said that men in search of power, such as her ex- husband, \"are very lonely, and that could be one reason for finding someone who is always there and who doesn't have her own life - a doormat. When men like that get past their sell-by date, theyseem to grow into a rather grim and depressive phase.\" Responding to rumours that Cook has been visiting a speech therapist to give his voice more gravitas, Margaret admitted that she had earlier suggested professional help.

Labour admits breaking its promise over arms exports Minister's confession will embarrass Robin Cook
2001
He spoke as Labour's inaction was criticised by Lord Justice Scott, author of the report attacking the last Tory government's handling of the arms-to-Iraq affair. Challenged about the failure on Radio 4's Today programme, Dr [Kim Howells], said: 'It is a promise unfulfilled. There's no question about it.' He argued that Ministers had made some improvements in the way arms exports were handled. Referring to the failure to produce clear- cut legislation on arms exports, he said: 'I should imagine that it's easier from a Government point of view to have an element of confusion than clear cut lines. Politicians can hide behind it.' The criticism is humiliating for Mr [Robin Cook], who was praised in opposition for his skillful attacks on Tory ministers during the arms-to-Iraq affair.

Cook, Robin
1998
To date, there has not been a sustained attempt to bring the philosophy of the Third Way into foreign policy. In order to fill this gap, the authors turn to the idea of `good international citizenship' pioneered by the former Australian Foreign Minister, Gareth Evans. It is argued that good international citizenship provides a conceptual rationale for an ethical foreign policy as well as a standard for judging the priority accorded to the goals of security, trade and human rights. Through an examination of a number of cases, the authors conclude that Britain's record as a good international citizen has been uneven and argue-against Labour's critics-that the government has set a new course for Britain's way in the world. More importantly, it has encouraged a public debate about the meaning and priority accorded to the promotion of different values.

THE CASE OF THE WANDERING UTERUS: \COMA\, THE MEDICAL THRILLER, AND THE WOMAN DOCTOR-DETECTIVE
2013
At the broadest level, I argue that novel and film mutually deploy the discourses of1970s liberal feminist politics in order to construct a model heroine-white, educated, independent, and just-to undertake the medical thriller's cautionary ethical quest: speaking truth to the abuses of institutional power and the dangers of unchecked scientific innovation in the name of the rights of the individual (Pethes 171; Harper and Moor 3-5). In this sense, Coma also takes part in a larger cultural shift in 1970s American mainstream media-registered in Hollywood film and on primetime television- toward topicality, social consciousness, and, in particular, positive representations of benevolent \"feminist\" women-that is, independent, white, working, unmarried heterosexual women, typified for Bonnie J. Novel and film likewise instantiate what feminist film theorist Mary Ann Doane has described as the female spectator's \"'over-identification' with the image\" (80).

2005
The Chancellor said [ROBIN COOK'S] decision to resign from the Cabinet in 2003 in protest at the Iraq war - considered by some to be his finest hour in politics - \"was founded on principle and the manner of his departure became the true measure of the man\". \"He was the grandson of a miner, whose life of struggle had taught the Cooks not selfishness but the importance of solidarity,\" said the Chancellor. The socialist hymn The Internat iona le was played before Mr Cook's coffin was carried from the cathedral for a private burial.

Cook's wife 'has just fallen apart' ; After ex-Minister's sudden death, the mother of his sons tells how Gaynor is struggling to cope with the tragedy. 'She is not a strong person,' she said
2005
She said: 'I think they feel quite an onus on them to look after [Gaynor] really because she is not a very strong person and she always needs looking after, and now she hasn't got Robin to lean on, she needs my sons to help her.' Mrs Cook added: 'I'm fine in that I didn't really have much personal involvement with Robin any more. The Prime Minister described Mr Cook as 'an outstanding, extraordinary talent brilliant, incisive in debate, of incredible skill and persuasive power.' Chancellor Gordon Brown said: 'I admired and valued Robin as a colleague and friend and as one of the greatest Parliamentarians of our time.' The [ROBIN COOK'S] had been on a walking holiday in Scotland when the former Minister, who had suffered blood pressure problems, collapsed with an apparent heart attack as he and his wife neared the summit of 2,365ft Ben Stack in Sutherland at around 2.30pm on Saturday. 'Robin's a great loss not only to his family but indeed to the Labour Party and to politics at home and abroad.' Former Culture Secretary Chris Smith said: 'His loss is a shocking devastation, a real tragedy for Parliament and public life as a whole. Robin's contribution was immense. He was probably the most effective Parliamentarian of his generation.' Work and Pensions Secretary David Blunkett said: 'For over three decades Robin was an outstanding politician and political thinker, who made the most profound contribution to Labour's modernisation and to international affairs.

Cook orders child army ban
2000
Evening Standard reporter ALEX RENTON, who broke the story of British guns being used to arm child soldiers, returns to Sierra Leone with Foreign Secretary Robin Cook ROBIN COOK met Sierra Leone's president this morning and told him that Britain's \"long-term commitment\" to his country was dependent on children, some of them armed by Britain, being removed from the conflict. Mr Cook, in an hour-long meeting with the president, told him that although Britain's new deployment of 200 soldiers to train the Sierra Leone army, in addition to the 90 officers already advising on strategy and supply, could be seen as a \"long-haul\" plan for Sierra Leone, one of their prime tasks would be to screen out the children. The 600 Royal Marines still guarding the airport and key positions in the city will be removed by the middle of next week - news that has thrown Freetown into a frenzy of complaints.
