    The new law that requires a 72-hour review period for bills before they are voted on by the California Legislature appears to be working — to a degree.
    In past years, before the voters approved Proposition 54 requiring bills to be in print for three days before floor votes, lobbyists for powerful special interests stuffed all kinds of things into bills just before they were passed on the final night of the legislative session. Or they got parts of bills they didn’t like stripped away

    Recipe: Green Beans with Tarragon and Toasted Walnuts

    I like this recipe because the perky edge of toasted walnuts spikes the mix. Once toasted, the nuts become less bitter and crunchier, a lovely flavor partner for the beans and herbs. A drizzle of walnut oil finishes the dish to perfection, but if you
