JFK aide Sorensen helped create Kennedy mystique (AP)

FILE - In this Nov. 18, 2008 file photo, Ted Sorensen, speech writer and former adviser to John F. Kennedy, speaks in Lincoln, Neb. Sorensen, the studious, star-struck aide and alter ego to President John F. Kennedy whose crisp, poetic turns of phrase helped idealize and immortalize a tragically brief administration, has died. He was 82. His wife Gillian Sorensen says he died Sunday, Oct. 31, 2010 at a New York hospital from complications of a stroke. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik, File)AP - Of the courtiers to Camelot's king, Theodore C. Sorensen ranked just below Bobby Kennedy. He was the adoring, tireless speechwriter and confidant to President John F. Kennedy, whose term was marked by Cold War struggles, growing civil rights strife and the beginnings of the U.S. intervention in Vietnam.
