Does articulate mean eloquent here? And clean-cut means good-looking?
Context:
Espy offered his thoughts and prayers to McMillian's family.
Luckett had met McMillian for the first time at a "Beans and Greens" Democratic Party function in Clarksdale Saturday.
"He was a very articulate, clean-cut young man," Luckett said. "It's a bizarre and tragic situation."
Other candidates include Democrat Dorris Miller and independent Brad Fair.

Articulate can mean both eloquent and good at enunciation. I think it most often means the latter: precise pronunciation. Clean-cut: short hair, shaved, no tattoos, etc.
