That said, I don't know any Cohens that aren't Jewish.

There is some guy in the Bush administration (William Cohen?) -- I think he's some sort of military dude -- who disclaims being Jewish.
Cohen is a quintessential Jewish name, as it confers special "status" because it means you are a descendant of a "high priest" from biblical times. All bets are off, however, if dad marries a shiksa.
