Readers Write: Letter-writer gets facts wrong on Clark Clifford

The Island Now

have assumed that in the numerous letters from John O’Kelly that Mr. O’Kelly knows his facts; but after the assertion in his letter published on November 7, 2014, that Clark Clifford was “himself Jewish,” I am not so certain. 

According to Wikipedia, Clark McAdams Clifford was born in 1906 in Fort Scott, Kan., the son of Frank Clifford and Georgia McAdams. 

According to both Wikipedia and Famouswhy.com, Mr. Clifford’s religion was “Anglican, Episcopalian.” 

It is possible that Mr. O’Kelly confused the name of Clark Clifford with that of another powerful person of that era, Clark Kent. 

It is widely believed in some quarters that Mr. Kent was “himself Jewish” and used his powerful influence to cause every United States President and every United States Congress since 1948 to support Israel.
