The clock is ticking on California Gov. Jerry Brown. He'll probably blow his self-imposed deadline Thursday to reach a budget compromise with the Legislature, but he will still have a few days before a real deadline to get the four Republican votes needed to hold a June special election to extend tax increases for five years. Those crucial Republicans have Brown over a barrel, and they're not giving up their demands easily. Good for them. The five Republican senators who are negotiating with Brown deserve credit.
How do you go over a waterfall in a barrel? Easy. You close your eyes, pray and hold on tight.
SPOILED SAUDIS - After speaking with his Turkish counterpart at the beginning of this month in Riyadh, veteran Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saul adl-Faisal said Israel was not serious about peace and acted like a spoiled child. But the words, writes [DOUGLAS M. BLOOMFIELD], best apply to the Prince's country. The Economist's Democracy Index lists Saudi Arabia as the seventh most authoritarian regime among the 167 countries rated.

PIKETON -- Hidden from public view on the grounds of an old atomic weapons plant in south central Ohio, scientists and engineers are testing machines they hope will fuel a worldwide nuclear renaissance. If the project succeeds, the tiny Appalachian town of Piketon could be at the doorstep of the world's most efficient uranium enrichment plant by 2011. Its product: fuel for nuclear reactors from New Jersey to Japan.
