...technical ability with flashbacks and composition, but he never seemed able to integrate this talent with Marguerite Duras' rather somnolent script. Robbe-Grillet, on the other hand, wrote novels that yearned for visual expression. In La Jalousie, for instance, he spends most of his time painting in the very smallest details of a banana plantation. Amid the minutiae, the author tells an exceedingly ambiguous tale of a husband's jealousy, a tale that never quite escapes from the encroaching landscape drawn in so heavily that it overshadows all else...

These organ chambers must be duplicated in a home installation, and even the smallest organ needs more space than a kitchen for its hundreds of pipes, which vary in size from a pea shooter to a howitzer...
Buried deep in a burrow and shielded by massive steel slabs, one of the newest gadgets at Long Island's Brookhaven National Laboratory is sighted in on the smallest and most mysterious components of the universe. In their massive spark chamber with its inch-thick aluminum plates, Brookhaven's atomic physicists hope to trap and study elusive particles that now are little more than factors in abstruse equations. With luck, they may even capture the elusive neutrino...
...current exhibition does nothing else, it will have served a useful purpose in reintroducing Bresdin. He had microscopes for eyes. In his Holy Family Beside a Rushing Stream, the three figures sit in a dense forest in which the smallest branch of the smallest tree can be seen. In the distance lies an entire city, and beyond that a mountain and beyond that the sky. The fastidiously constructed lithograph is less than 9 in. tall and 7 in. wide; yet the viewer can stay lost in it for minutes. It is not only the work of a gifted technician...
