An account by a person close to Gov. David A. Paterson is at odds with Caroline Kennedy’s own description of her reasons for withdrawing.

Caroline Kennedy, who was widely considered the front-runner to fill Hillary Clinton's U.S. Senate seat for New York, has removed herself from consideration for that post, according to three Democratic sources. The 51-year-old daughter of President John F. Kennedy indicated her interest in filling the seat after Clinton was nominated to be U.S. secretary of state.

Divers in the Hudson River on Wednesday located a missing engine from US Airways Flight 1549, which went into the river last week after apparently striking a flock of birds, officials said.

New York Gov. David Paterson insisted Monday he still hasn't decided whom he will appoint to the Senate seat expected to soon be vacated by Hillary Rodham Clinton despite news reports to the contrary.

The plane is believed to have encountered a barrage of bird strikes exceeding any such events covered by federal standards for engine durability.

Investigators expect to be able to confirm whether the US Airways jet suffered bird strikes in both of its engines.
