For a long life or the ability to turn base metals into gold, it was not medicine or a chemical lab you sought, but an alchemist or a magician. In those days, our actions were manipulated by the fates...
...impresario of this year's list--and alchemist of the magical pairings--was deputy managing editor Josh Tyrangiel, whose day job is presiding over TIME.com He was assisted by numerous section editors as well as tireless deputy chief of reporters Andrea Dorfman. Deputy art director D.W. Pine and associate art director Chrissy Dunleavy created the strong and elegant design.

After 400 years as English drama's dirty little secret, Middleton...

Though the show includes works from many periods of Clergue’s acclaimed oeuvre, its emphasis is squarely on female nudes. In these photographs, Clergue plays alchemist with seemingly endless permutations of his preferred elements—flesh, water, and light.
