Humphrey has felt all along that the dissidents on the near left at least would eventually rally to him. Eugene McCarthy still holds out, but others are falling into line. Some, like Ted Kennedy, have come with good grace, and others, like Ted Sorensen, with none. Sorensen urged votes for Humphrey as the candidate "least likely to sink us all." Antiwar demonstrators still heckle and curse the Vice President (they even booed Kennedy in Boston for appearing with Humphrey), but the foulmouthed fringe may prove more of an asset than a liability in the long...
Humphrey, whose position lies somewhere between McCarthy's and the Administration's, wound up saying nothing during the platform fight. But his aides sought to win acceptance of a moderate plank, along the lines of one carpentered by Theodore Sorensen, former speechwriter for President John F. Kennedy. The effort failed, ironically, when two other former Kennedy men, representing the McCarthy and McGovern camps, forced Sorensen to agree to a more dovish statement than Hum phrey was likely to approve. During a daylong hassle, Sorensen clashed repeatedly with McCarthy Speechwriter Richard Goodwin and Pierre Salinger, a McGovern aide...
Died. Charles E. Sorensen, 86, Henry Ford's production chief from 1919 to 1944; after a long illness; in Bethesda, Md.

In World War II, Sorensen applied the same principle to aircraft plants which turned out four-engine B-24 bombers at the rate of one every three hours...

Some lower-echelon R.F.K. workers did join up with the McCarthy cause last week, and one Bobby Kennedy staff member, Speechwriter Richard Goodwin, who had worked earlier for McCarthy, may very well return to his old boss. But Kennedy Aide Ted Sorensen spoke for most of the dissolving clan when he urged New York delegates who favored R.F.K. to go to the convention uncommitted. Although Kennedy and McCarthy forces share much the same ideology, many R.F.K. supporters paid such unswerving fealty to their man that they continued to resent McCarthy...
...elements of the Nixon equation. But it is provocative. The Chicago Tribune found it "as thoughtful and intelligent a political appraisal as we are likely to get this year." The New York Times mulled the proposal over and concluded that it is "intriguing but implausible political speculation." Ted Sorensen decided it was the product of a "Nixon mimeograph machine that ran amuck one night...
