National news - April 28

WASHINGTON
Planes cause scare

An administration official says a presidential Boeing 747 and a fighter jet flew low near ground zero in New York City on Monday because the White House Military Office wanted to update its file photo of the president's plane near the Statue of Liberty. The incident on Monday caused a brief panic among workers, who weren't warned. They recalled the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

 

CHICAGO
Prostate drug study

A drug already sold for other prostate problems significantly cut the chances of prostate cancer being found in men with an increased risk of the disease, doctors reported Monday. In a large international study, dutasteride, sold as Avodart, lowered the chances of a prostate cancer diagnosis by 23 percent after four years of use.

 

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.
Music settlement

After battling a suburban family for four years over music downloads, the recording industry has agreed to accept $7,000 — paid in installments — to settle its federal piracy lawsuit. If approved by a judge, the settlement will end a well-publicized tussle that began with five record companies accusing Patricia Santangelo, a mother of five, of illegally downloading and distributing music.

 

DES MOINES, IOWA
Gay couples wed

Same-sex couples in Iowa began holding hastily planned weddings Monday as the state became the third to allow gay marriage, a leap that even some supporters find hard to grasp in the nation's heartland. Within hours of a state Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage taking effect, several same-sex couples had exchanged vows on the steps of the Polk County Administrative Building.

 

NEW YORK
Fox just says no

Fox became the first broadcast network to turn down a request by President Barack Obama for time, opting to show its drama Lie to Me on Wednesday instead of the president's prime-time news conference. Fox will direct viewers interested in the news conference to Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network.
