5 CITY-TV’S “LIVE AND LEARN” FEATURES SORENSEN
Lecture and theatre dedication also airing on channels 5 and 21

Lincoln native Ted Sorensen, a speech writer and close advisor to President Kennedy, is featured on a special 60-minute segment of “Live and Learn” on 5 CITY-TV, Lincoln’s government access channel (Time Warner Cable channel 5).

Sorensen was interviewed by Live and Learn co-host Ruth Ann Lyness, who was a classmate of Sorensen’s at Lincoln High School. The program is scheduled to air through the month of December on Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m., Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m. and Thursdays at 2 and 9:30 p.m.

Two other programs featuring Sorensen also are running:
