Remembering Theodore Sorensen
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(Nov. 1) -- Theodore Sorensen, former speechwriter for President John F. Kennedy, died Sunday at 82 from complications from a stroke he suffered a week ago.

'Mad Men' Era Sexist and Glamorous, and I Miss it
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyIs it wrong to miss the stewardess? The bellhop? The secretary?I know they're politically incorrect. But the hit show "Mad Men" on AMC – set in the early 1960s and arguably the best TV show since "The Sopranos" – has brought back dormant longings I didn't know I had. ...
