Alan Clark
Alan Kenneth Mackenzie Clark PC (13 April 1928 – 5 September 1999) was a British Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), historian and diarist. He served as a junior minister in Margaret Thatcher's governments at the Departments of Employment, Trade and Defence, and became a privy counsellor in 1991.
He was the author of several books of military history, including his controversial work The Donkeys (1961), which is considered to have inspired the musical satire Oh, What a Lovely War!
Clark became known for his flamboyance, wit and irreverence. Norman Lamont called him "the most politically incorrect, outspoken, iconoclastic and reckless politician of our times". He is particularly remembered for his three-volume diary, a candid account of political life under Thatcher and a moving description of the weeks preceding his death, when he continued to write until he could no longer focus on the page.
Clark was a passionate supporter of animal rights, joining activists in demonstrations at Dover against live export, and outside the House of Commons in support of Animal Liberation Front hunger-striker Barry Horne. When he died after radiation therapy for a brain tumour, his family said Clark wanted it to be stated that he had "gone to join Tom and the other dogs."
Alan Clark (television executive)
Alan Clark is a Canadian television executive who served as the head of CBC Sports from 1990 to 1999.
Early life
Clark was born in 1949 in London, Ontario and grew up in Ottawa. He graduated from Carleton University in 1974 with a degree in political science and history.
Early career and CBC Radio
Clark got his start at the CBC as a copy boy in Ottawa. In the 1970s he worked in the network's national newsroom in Toronto. He later joined CBC Radio, where he worked as a producer, executive producer, news special host, and executive assistant to the program director. In 1983 he was named head of CBC Radio sports, which he established as a separate department from news.
CBC Television
In November 1989, Clark was hired by Arthur Smith to serve as deputy head of CBC Sports. In January 1990, Clark was named acting head of CBC Sports after Smith accepted the position of executive producer and vice-president of Dick Clark Productions. Soon after taking over, the network announced budget cuts. As a result, Clark had to terminate three employees and, due to overtime costs, eliminate coverage of Canadian Football League games on holiday weekends. In April 1990, Clark was appointed head of CBC Sports.

Your Angel Now
by: Alain ClarkYou know this one's for you
I want to thank you for the times you pulled me through
There's so much great in the little things you do
And they just keep adding up
You won't know what I mean
But it means a lot to me that you were there
At a time where i felt no one really cared
You were in the rear
And I, I wouldn't be the same person that i am
If you would not have given me your strength
So call and I'll be on my way
You have been my angel
Let me be your angel now
Call and I'll be in your door
As long as I'm able
Have in me your angel
It is so like you to set aside your needs
But i guess they say for those who like to give
It's hard to receive
So here's for you my friend
And in time of need
You can count on me
So call and I'll be on my way
You have been my angel
Let me be your angel now
Call and I'll be in your door
As long as I'm able
Have in me your angel
Nothing in return
Now the tables are turned
Unconditional love just say it and you know it
I'll be there to show it
Call and I'll be on my way
You have been my angel
Let me be your angel now
Yeah call and I'll be in your door
As long as I'm able
