...respected for a life spent pursuing her own singular vision. The first-ever overview of her 40-year career at Tate Britain (which runs until Sept. 28) shows how she rose above the Op Art fad. Monochrome mutates into color, and simple dots and triangles morph into ripples and barley-sugar twists, always following an internal logic. You can see her refining a theme, then moving on in a new direction, returning to an earlier obsession or throwing several ideas together. Her entirely abstract work seems self-contained, but retains links with the real world, says curator Paul Moorhouse...
...Spear's cooking, which draws foodies from across Britain, is deceptively simple, starting with appetizers like langoustine salad and partan bree (crab soup), both made from meltingly sweet local shellfish. Entrées include flash-sautéed Skye scallops, citrus-roast halibut and Highland lamb served with pearl-barley risotto. Cranachan, a mixture of oatmeal, cream, honey and whisky, is a classic dessert. The influence of the Gulf Stream makes Skye fertile ground for soft fruits, so local raspberries accompany the cranachan, while sharp, green gooseberries are puréed and mixed with cream to make a traditional "fool...

Stunted brown patches of barley and drooping cornstalks along its winding path testify to the summer's record heat wave. Deadman's Basin, one of the river's three storage reservoirs, yielded a piddling 10,000 acre-ft. of water this year, compared with an average of 48,940 acre-ft. Due in large part to the lack of water, the state...
