...receiving degrees from the University, according to a program circulated at Wednesday’s dinner for the distinction’s recipients. But unlike his 10 fellow recipients, he will not receive the degree at today’s Commencement exercises. Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor two weeks ago, and is recovering from surgery at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., making travel difficult. In a highly unusual arrangement, Kennedy will be awarded the honor at “an appropriate future occasion,” said a Harvard spokesman, who added that the senator...

...that Kennedy has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, no one knows just how quickly he will be returning to the Senate. It will be at least a week before we learn the full extent of his diagnosis and treatment plans, and the senator is holding off making any decisions until then. There are currently no plans for him to resign, or even to take an extended leave of absence...
