Theodore C. Sorensen, whose soaring rhetoric helped to make President John F. Kennedy a symbol of hope and liberal governance and who then had a long career as a successful international lawyer in New York, died Sunday of complications from a stroke. He was 82.
Mr. Sorensen had been in poor health in recent years and a stroke in 2001 left him with such poor eyesight that he was unable to write his memoir, “Counselor,” published in 2008. Instead, he had to dictate it to an assistant. He was hospitalized on Oct. 22.
