...tawny blond and blue surfaces of the seascapes, like Le Chenal de Gravelines: Petit-Fort-Philippe, 1890, mediate between solidity (the molecular structure of the skin of paint) and transparency in a way that is unique in 19th century painting, and as a result they can absorb and reward all the contemplation the eye can give them. The port, under its light-suffused spell, its unpeopled high-summer sleep, becomes a subject of reverie but not a fantasy, anchored in the real by such declarative touches as the iron bollard placed dead center in the foreground, yet located...

...lobbying, the scientific community has reached no consensus about the worthiness of various projects. Molecular biologists and particle physicists find it impossible to agree on the relative merits of the Human Genome Project and the superconducting supercollider. "Scientists are scared to death about having to make such choices," says Francis Collins, the University of Michigan geneticist who led the teams responsible for identifying the cystic fibrosis and neurofibromatosis genes. "It's such a contentious area that I'm afraid people won't be able to agree...
...segments at precisely defined locations. That discovery in turn made possible recombinant- DNA technology, which spawned the multibillion-dollar biotechnology industry. And the laser, now the vital component of devices ranging from printers to compact disc players to surgical instruments, was a serendipitous by-product of research on molecular structure...
