Ted Sorensen 1928-2010

Shortly After recording Novembers podcast in London yesterday Dave rang me with the sad news that Ted Sorensen, our podcast guest and dictionary opener for our April edition, had died.

Ted was best known for being speech writer for JFK, and coining some of the most iconic phrases in American politics. He kindly took time out earlier this year to chat to us about his career and thoughts on modern politics, and also choose a page of words for us to discuss on Words Fail Me.

Words Fail Me - New York - Ted Sorensen

If you have not already heard our interview then it is still available as part of the April 2010 Podcast.

News of Ted Sorensen's death has been reported on the BBC Website and also on Guardian.co.uk.
