JFK Speechwriter Theodore Sorensen Dies

Sorensen, " a great mind" will truly be missed. His writings surpasses any other speech writers ever to come through the White House. This family strongly believes the letter he drafted to Khrushchev from Kennedy is the most significant piece ever written.

I think the Kennedy/Sorenson words will ring loudly and ring true forever. The two of them new how to penetrate the fog of political speech and touch the hearts and minds of all citizens. The world simply has not heard such clarity of thought and truth since JFK's assination and now Ted Sorenson's passing. Both men read the American Public's hearts and sense of right. Except for some kooks in the Mafia and CIA, America was soaring into an example for the world to see and to which they would aspire to emulate. My view of them went well beyond mere wordsmithing. My sincere condolences to the Sorenson family !!!

Some people -- like J.F.K., Katherine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn and Dwight David Eisenhower, will be missed, and greatly missed, forever. So it will be, I think, with Theodore Sorenson, as well. His writing, and his life, proved that he, too, was a "Profile In Courage". :_( Missed now....missed always....

How sad! What a loss! A gentleman of honour and of words. He will be deeply missed by all who cherish freedom. My condolences to his family, and all who had the pleasure and privilege of knowing him personally. He will not be forgotten -- at least by me. (If Sarah Palin is elected in 2012, and the "Brave New World Order" begins, at least I will keep Mr. Sorenson's memory alive in my my own memory, (depsite N.W.O. Brainwashing) -- and take a small bit of comfort in the fact that he didn't live to see a Palin Presidency. Then again....maybe Ron Paul and/or Mike Gravel will become President and VP. In that case, I myself will be overjoyed....but will cry a bit, every night, that Mr. Sorensen didn't live to see this ressurection of Freedom, under -- no, WITH! -- Mike Gravel / Ron Paul, come to pass. Whatever happens, I will always remember the erudite, handsome, and highly intelligent, (and kind!), Theodore Sorenson. I find that emotion clouds any further words I might want to say..... :_(

I grew up in the 1960's and yes those were great men, leading the greatest nation in one of the greatest eras this country has ever seen however.....from John Kennedy to his brother Bob, Martin Luther King, John Lennon..all great champions of peace and supporters of the poor and average citizen....cut down in the primes of their lives.......so is that the price of greatness??? No wonder the world has nothing but wimpy leaders now...do something good and you are literally targeted and destroyed!!!

We are truly saddened to say goodbye to the true genius of that administration. Only wish he could have worked for other Presidents.His place in history is a quiet one, but in God's eyes he will live forever. Thank you, Mr. Sorenson for keeping us in peace and our world intact.

All persons who let a non-citizens vote on any district in this nation be fired. T The one that votes as a american and is not should be immediate deported. This story not related but vote this comeing election could make a great change in american voteing. Lets see how true this realy gos.

My father worked in the White House during Kennedy's administration for a short period of time. Sorensen was a name I heard often at the dinner table, in the days when familys ate together. It was a more comfortable, simpler time, but there were still periods of crisis. In spite of it all, I long for the feeling that when the lights went out at night, somebody was looking out for us. Very sad to lose such a brilliant soul.

We all owe much to that wonderful man. I will miss him as I imagine we all will.

I knew hia niece and nephew when I was a teenager, they were very nice people. I have always been glad that president kennedy had his best days that week.
