Tony Winners Set For Ted Kennedy Tribute

Tony Award winners Fritz Weaver and Tammy Grimes will be among those reading at a tribute to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy.

Selections from Robert Frost, Walt Whitman and other poets whom Kennedy admired will be featured at the event at Saint Peter's Church in midtown Manhattan on Feb. 22. That would have been Kennedy's 78th birthday.
