A steady stream of visitors has been at the tombstone since the weekend. Ted's widow, Vicki, spent hours there on Sunday before taking a place of honor at today's signing.



President Obama also paid homage. "I remember seeing Ted walk through that door in a summit in this room a year ago, one of his last public appearances, and it was hard for him to make it, but he was confident that we would do the right thing." (Read more Ted Kennedy stories.)
