Daniel, Clifton, Jr.

Daniel, Clifton, Jr.
▪ 2001

      American journalist and newspaper editor (b. Sept. 19, 1912, Zebulon, N.C.—d. Feb. 21, 2000, New York, N.Y.), served as managing editor of the New York Times from 1964 to 1969 and as its Washington, D.C., bureau chief from 1973 to 1976. Daniel began his long career at the Times in 1944 as a foreign correspondent, distinguishing himself in assignments in wartime Europe and, later, in the Middle East and Asia. His coverage of the Soviet Union in 1954–55 earned him an Overseas Press Club Award. In 1956, the same year that he married Margaret Truman—the only child of former president Harry S. Truman—Daniel returned to the U.S. to work in the home office of the Times. As managing editor, he enlivened the newspaper's style, in part by increasing the number of feature articles and expanding society and arts coverage. He was a commentator on the Times-owned radio station, WQXR, from 1969 to 1973. Following his retirement from journalism in 1977, Daniel edited the book Chronicle of the 20th Century (1987), which became a best-seller.
