Pay as you go ... and pay some more

We're Californians. We drive. And we're paying for it. The price of gasoline in Ventura County has hit an all-time high. And analysts say they don't see anything that will halt the climb. Today a couple of reporters are exploring the price of gas for a package for Page One tomorrow, trying to explain why it's going up, and whether we will pay any price for gas ... or is there a point where we say enough?

Staff writer Kim Lamb Gregory (kgregory@VenturaCountyStar.com) is following up on the controversy around Harvard president Lawrence Summers' statement that intrinsic differences in ability are a key reason why fewer women are in the applicant pool for jobs at the highest level of science. She talks with local academics to get their take on the continuing controversy.

And, off the wires, we'll look at today's congressional hearing on baseball and steroids as well as the last-ditch efforts Florida to block the removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube.
