  • Gather Journal
    GATHER JOURNAL SPECTRUM THE COLOR ISSUE Seasonal Recipes and Exceptional Ideas summer 2015 GATHER JOURNAL GATHER Can you see color with your ears? Ken Nordine’s 1966 album Colors did just that. His paean to the spectrum in audio form is best appreciated lying down, eyes closed, ears peeled for Nordine’s iconic voice, rich and resonant, as it spins you around the color wheel, inventing personas for every shade. Lavender, “keeper of dark corners and black-blue blood, lady of the soft edges.” Orange, “the silly old color who lives next to red, the one that is orangely out of its head.” Ecru, “is a critic, loves to see the show, just doesn’t know when to say yes, and when to say no.” And white, “is just a dream of a dream, even now, if you close your eyes tight, and let your brain go to where it’s whiter than snow, you’ll see, you’ll know.” Nordine understood a simple truth: Color is imagination. For artists, color is also possibility. French chemist Michel Eugène Chevreul helped to open up this new world of chromatic prospects; his 1839 book, The Laws of Contrast of Colour, delved into the principles of how colors play off of each other when juxtaposed (e.g., deep purple will look more intense near yellow, than alongside black). His findings would serve as the basis for simultaneous contrast, a concept further elucidated a century later by Bauhaus artist Josef Albers in Interaction of Color. He wrote: “If one says red and there are 50 people listening, it can be expected that there will be 50 reds in their minds.” You see, color is not static, but rather something constantly in flux, often shaped and influenced by individuals and their respective histories.

  • A Child Needs Your Love Most When He Deserves It Least. —Erma Bombeck NOVEMBER 8,2000
    A child needs your love most when he deserves it least. —Erma Bombeck NOVEMBER 8,2000 Dear Franklin, I'm unsure why one trifling incident this afternoon has moved me to write to you. But since we've been separated, I may most miss coming home to deliver the narrative curiosities of my day, the way a cat might lay mice at your feet: the small, humble offerings that couples proffer after foraging in separate backyards. Were you still installed in my kitchen, slathering crunchy peanut butter on Branola though it was almost time for dinner, I'd no sooner have put down the bags, one leaking a clear viscous drool, than this little story would come tumbling out, even before I chided that we're having pasta tonight so would you please not eat that whole sandwich. In the early days, of course, my tales were exotic imports, from Lisbon, from Katmandu. But no one wants to hear stories from abroad, really, and I could detect from your telltale politeness that you privately preferred anecdotal trinkets from closer to home: an eccentric encounter with a toll collector on the George Washington Bridge, say. Marvels from the mundane helped to ratify your view that all my foreign travel was a kind of cheating. My souvenirs—a packet of slightly stale Belgian waffles, the British expression for "piffle" (codswallop!)—were artificially imbued with magic by mere dint of distance. Like those baubles the Japanese exchange—in a box in a bag, in a box in a bag—the sheen on my offerings from far afield was all packaging.

  • Overview Introduction
    Lima, Peru Overview Introduction Lima, Peru, is a dynamic, vibrant city full of contrasts. Modern skyscrapers stand beside pre- Incan pyramids that cover entire city blocks. The City of Kings was formerly just a stopover en route to the tourist mecca of Cusco and the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu, but visitors to Lima are now spending more and more time soaking up the cosmopolitan atmosphere in Peru's capital city, where fine museums and world-class dining combine with thousands of years of history. Whether you are shopping in designer boutiques and posh malls, partying until dawn in a nightclub facing the Pacific, or sampling seafood in the city's best cevicherias, there is something for almost everyone in Lima. Highlights Sights—The sights of Colonial Lima, including Barrio Chino (Chinatown); the ossuary, convent and architecture at the Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco; the changing of the guards at the Government Palace; the cliff-side bohemian neighborhood of Barranco. Museums—Pre-Columbian artifacts at the Museo Arqueologico Rafael Larco Herrera; authentic Incan gold at the Museo Oro del Peru. Memorable Meals—Stunning pyramid views from Huaca Pucllana Restaurant; Gaston Acurio's trendy criollo dishes at Panchita; novo-Peruvian delicacies at Malabar. Late Night—The city's best nightclubs at Larcomar Shopping Center; dinner and drinks at a pena (folk- music club) downtown or in Barranco. Walks—From Barranco's main plaza to the Pacific; through Colonial Lima; the seaside malecon in Miraflores; Parque El Olivar in San Isidro. Especially for Kids—Learning about Peruvian wildlife at Parque de las Leyendas; marine animals on the Islas Palominos; the beaches of La Costa Verde.
