Stevenson was chosen as the Democratic nominee for president in the 1952 and 1956 presidential elections and served as United States Ambassador to the United Nations from 1961 until his death in 1965. As a speechwriter for President John F. Kennedy and one of his closest advisers, Sorensen drew ideas from Stevenson, among others. After publishing the collaborative biography 'Profiles in Courage' and bearing the grief of Kennedy's assassination, he later joined the U.S. law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, where he was of counsel, while still staying involved in politics.
