STATE City pressure brings biker groups together MYRTLE BEACH — Biker groups agreed to hold only one rally in early May after Mayor Mark McBride threatened to shut down two similar events if they didn’t combine. The Myrtle Beach Harley Davidson dealership* and the Carolina Harley-Davidson Dealers Association traditionally have held their rallies during the same time. But for the coming year the local dealership decided to move its event to May 6-15, and the association stuck with May 16-21. Organizers of the May 6-15 event agreed to drop it Thursday after city, county and business leaders said they would not allow two Harley rallies in one month. The city now will only recognize the rally set for May 16-21 at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

NATION CBS admits reports may have been faked NEW YORK — CBS News is trying to restore its credibility after a week of questions about its report on President Bush’s National Guard service, yet it may never conclusively know whether it was duped by fake documents.

Killian, indicated he had been pressured to sugarcoat Bush’s performance and that the future president ignored an order to take a physical.

CBS flew the late Killian’s former secretary, Marian Carr Knox, from Texas to New York Wednesday for an interview, in which she said she believed the documents were fake but their content accurate WORLD Karzai evades second assassination attempt KABUL, Afghanistan — Assailants fired a rocket at an American helicopter taking President Hamid Karzai on a rare foray into Afghanistan’s troubled provinces Thursday, but it missed, and he escaped injury.
