...last of ... ," paints intensely beautiful scenes that could have been painted any time in the last 100 years but not by anyone else.

Of the 400,000 patients who had such operations last year, the majority were 65 or older. Most now wear the distinctive-and somewhat unflattering-spectacles. But more than 50,000 of them have no need for special glasses; they have undergone a controversial new procedure-the implanting in the eye of a tiny...
