Massachusetts: Yo-yo Ma

CAMBRIDGE - U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy was in good spirits as he entered the back of Harvard's Sanders Theatre Monday afternoon to receive an honorary degree at a special convocation ceremony.

"We're deeply honored to receive this degree," the Hyannis Port Democrat said as he entered the theatre. "Harvard has been a special place for our family over the years so this is really a special time and a special honor."

Kennedy appeared with his wife Vicki and noted the role Harvard has played in life of his family.
