He served in the U. S. Navy from 1944 to 1946 and graduated from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in June 1947, with an A. B. in journalism and naval science and tactics. From June 1947 to October 1948 Clark worked as a reporter, state editor, and features editor for the Durham, North Carolina  Morning Herald . In November 1948 he became a reporter for the Washington, D. C.  Daily News , working also as assistant city editor and aviation editor for that newspaper through December 1955. ","In January 1956 Clark began working at  Aviation Week Magazine , serving at various times as its Washington bureau chief, space techinlogy editor (the first space editor in the magazine's history), and military editor. He joined the Washington bureau of the  New York Times  in September 1963 as a science correspondent, specializing in aviation and space stories. In June 1968 he joined  Newsweek  magazine in its Washington bureau as a science correspondent (again specializing in aviation and space). He also covered the Watergate scandal for  Newsweek  from its inception to its conclusion. From April 1978 until his death, Clark was a technical editor for  Business Week  and other magazines connected with the McGraw-Hill World News Bureau in Washington. He died on July 7, 1988.","Clark received many awards for his writing, including the National Space Club's journalism prize in 1969, in which Clark was cited for his \"penetrating, consistently informed and lucid writing on all phases of the national space program: sometimes critical, always objective and thorough, resulting in outstanding reporting to the world at large.\" The National Press Foundation has established an award in Clark's memory. The Evert Clark Award, presented annually to a journalist 30 or younger, is intended to encourage young science writers by recognizing outstanding reporting in the science area. The award was first presented in 1990."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe guide to the Evert B.

There are also two letters regarding the gift of the memoranda book to Washington and Lee University in 1946 by Mrs. Louisa P. Allan, William Allan's daughter – in – law. Subjects of the conversations include Lee's objectives and strategy at different points during the American Civil War; Lee's decision to resign from the United States Army on April 20, 1861 including his conversations with U.S. Army General Winfield Scott; and commentary, at times critical, of Federal and Confederate generals and leaders including George McClellan, D.H. Hill, James Longstreet, Jefferson Davis, Richard Ewell, Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson, Joseph Johnston, J.E.B. Stuart, and John-Fitz Porter. Civil War battles mentioned or discussed include Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gaines Mill and the Seven Days Battles, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the fall of the defenses at Petersburg, Va.","Robert E. Lee's copy of D.H. Hill's post Civil War magazine \"The Land We Love,\" which published an article pertaining to the story of Lee's \"Lost Dispatch\" - an order by General Robert E. Lee directing movements of his Army of Northern Virginia during the Maryland Campaign of 1862. It was lost by an unidentified Confederate courier and found by Union soldiers and subsequently forwarded to Union General George B. McClellan. The contents of the dispatch influenced the battles of South Mountain and Antietam.","Letter from E.C.(Edward Clifford)Gordon, former Washington College Clerk of Faculty, to Col.

A main theme of the letter is the content from the memo book regarding the story of Lee's \"Lost Dispatch\" during his Maryland Campaign of 1862. \nThe second letter  accompanied the memo book when it was given by Louisa P. Allan, Col. William Allan's daughter - in - law,  to Washington and Lee University President Francis Pendleton Gaines in 1946.","Reminiscences of Robert E.
