...Smith has grown up, too. On Beauty, short-listed last week for the Man Booker Prize, is striking for the maturity of its sensibility and suggests that Smith is, indeed, a talent to watch over the long haul. You are not simply entertained by the writer's versatility and brilliant characters; you really care about these people. When they are stubborn you want to slap some sense into them. When they do good you cheer. And when they behave thoughtlessly you tend to forgive, because you can't escape the nagging suspicion that you yourself might not have behaved...

Chaos and Creation is adventurous, melodic and emotionally complicated--the first album in his post-Fab Four catalog that really matters. If it is not as dark or as brilliant as Time Out of Mind, Bob Dylan's "Hey, I can still do this!" album, it belongs on a shelf nearby. "Since the Beatles, I've approached making records every which way," says McCartney. "A lot of times it's a real casual thing. Do a few tracks...
...intensely flavored with well-balanced fruit, acidity and tannin, it's a perfect match for game or red meat. The Finca Altamire Malbec from Achaval Ferrer is the highest-rated Argentinean wine to date. Look out for the 2001 bottling.

...passions for limited government and strict constitutional interpretation will be carried further by his more ideological heirs, Thomas and Antonin Scalia-and, presumably, by whomever Bush appoints to replace him. But Scalia lacks the temperament-and Thomas, the vision-to match the departed Chief. His spare and often brilliant reasoning didn't ignite the conservative revolution that some predicted, but with the help of a new crop of like-minded colleagues, it did bring a generation of liberal activism on the court to an end.-With reporting by Melissa August, Perry Bacon Jr. and Viveca Novak/Washington
