Blair Clark was a journalist and political activist who held many positions in both spheres.

While at Harvard University Clark befriended classmate John F. Kennedy. The two would remain in touch throughout Kennedy's political career, and Clark and Jacqueline Kennedy would correspond for decades. Other notable people with whom Clark was close include poet Robert Lowell and journalist Theodore H. White. Clark served as General Manager of CBS News from 1961-1964, and later held positions at the New York Post and The Nation. Politically, Clark was known as an avowed "left wing" Democrat. In 1968 he served as Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy's national campaign manager for the Democratic presidential nomination. Later Clark became treasurer of the New Democratic Coalition, a group of disaffected liberals from the 1968 election that tried unsuccessfully to foment a national movement. When the Watergate break-in occurred, Clark was serving as the Democratic National Committee's communications director.

The lifelong friendship between Blair Clark and Robert Lowell began in the 1930s when both were students at St. Mark's Episcopal boarding school in Southborough, Massachusetts, and continued at Harvard. While at Harvard, Clark edited the Harvard Crimson, a harbinger of his career in journalism. After graduating from Harvard and serving in the Army in World War II, Clark co-founded the New Hampshire Sunday News . In 1953 he joined CBS News as a foreign correspondent in Paris, later anchored The World Tonight for the CBS Radio Network, and became vice president and general manager of CBS News in 1961. After leaving CBS in the mid-1960s, Clark helped establish the New York Review of Books, was associate publisher of the New York Post, and editor of The Nation from 1976 to 1978. Along the way he was active in Democratic politics, working for W. Averell Harriman in 1956 and managing Eugene McCarthy's 1968 presidential campaign. In later years he taught at Princeton and New York University.
