Afternoon update
At this hour (3:30 p.m.), we're still waiting to find out how the Sacramento judge is going to rule (or if she's going to rule today) on whether the governor overstepped his authority in halting implementation of rules governing nurse-patient ratios in hospitals. If, as expected, she tells the governor he can't do that, then it probably will be the lead story on tomorrow's Page One.
The other local news package is centered just a little south: Los Angeles and the mayor's race. Their election is Tuesday and we take a look at the role the LA "stepchild" (San Fernando Valley) could play in the election.
We will have a story on page one with the latest on the tragic death of the Italian agent and wounding of the just-freed Italian hostage in Iraq. They were shot by U.S. forces at a checkpoint.
Another wire story that makes it to Page One is in the "wow, look at that" category: Italian military are wearing tiny video screen-like watches that receive signals from pilot-less airplanes to help them identify targets.
And, finally, Martha is still a Page One story. She remains a story folks are talking about, so that drove it out to the front page.
