Theodore C. Sorensen, Kennedy Counselor & Ethics Center Trustee, Dies

Older Brandeisians might remember him from this:

Days before President Obama’s inaugural address in January 2009, Ted Sorensen reflected on his service for President John F. Kennedy and examined recent inaugural addresses at an event hosted at Brandeis by the Ethics Center called “From ‘Ask not…’ to ‘Yes we can,’? JFK’s Speechwriter on What Makes Inaugural Addresses Great.” Video of the event is available online.

He was the founding chair of the Ethics Center – the Sorenson Fellowships were named after him.
