One of THE best journalists on the Observer/in Britain, Rachel Cooke, has died, all too soon. She was so clever, kind, wise and a brilliant interviewer who inspired me. Really lovely tribute by Tim Adams here: observer.co.uk/news/nationa... Rest in Peace Rachel, and deep condolences to your family.
