Many of his still lifes were lone objects like that: a half-peeled lemon exposing its snow-white pith, a warty green monument of a melon. But on occasion, especially in the 1860s, Manet would show his full ordering skill in a composition that anticipates what Cezanne came to in the 1880s. Still Life with Salmon, 1866, is such a painting, a wonderful balance between stability and its opposite: you can feel the weight of the fish and the density of the white tablecloth, but the knife in the foreground is precariously balanced, and the blue bowl with a lemon...

...warming is impacting the Swiss Alps harder than other regions, affecting the country's tourism industry and hydroelectric power supply at an alarming rate. The findings are based on a recent report by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. While some mountain areas are already experiencing less snow, The Swiss believe a new law limiting energy use and emission gases may help reduce future damage...
...That's welcome news to the country's tourist industry. A study carried out at the University of Zurich shows that if temperatures rise by about 2?C over the next 50 years, as some experts predict, ski resorts below 1,500 m may not have enough snow to attract tourists. "In the 1970s it was still possible to ski between 800 m and 1,200 m above sea level," says Professor Hans Elsasser, coordinator of the Zurich study. "Now snow is guaranteed only above 1,200 m. We are forecasting that in the next few decades the snowline will...
...seasons. No one else is. The squirrels scamper across the road in their exuberantly suicidal springtime way, racing to see if they can manage to get under the wheels. Nature on the move. Chipmunks are back in business. Our cats play Sylvester with the bluebirds. Deer, exhausted by deep snow and winter, have taken to using the plowed driveway as a thoroughfare: Yesterday I saw 20 of them file leisurely down the drive from the field, where they browse, morning and evening, on what bare patches they can find. A church social of wild turkeys congregates in the field...
