Clark, Ramsey (William)

(1927– ) attorney general, political activist; born in Dallas, Texas. Son of former Supreme Court justice Tom C. Clark, he was named attorney general (1967–69) during the raucous anti-Vietnam War years. Although he prosecuted activists such as the Berrigan brothers, Clark was known to be a liberal who moved further to the left in his beliefs and causes after returning to private practice. Twice an unsuccessful candidate for U.S. Senate from New York (1970s), he returned to public prominence (1980–90s) as an outspoken critic of two Republican administrations. He himself was roundly criticized for support of extremist politicians like Lyndon LaRouche—regarded by most as an ultra-right extremist—and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, and he became a mystery to former backers.
