French Director Claude Lelouch's un abashed romanticism brought A Man and a Woman to within an inch of the border between sentiment and sentimen tality. In Live for Life, he crosses over the line - and back into the land of the Woman's Picture, where men must wander and ladies must weep, alone. The movie's hero is a bored, lecherous French television reporter (Yves Montand) who perpetually roams from his aging wife (Annie Girardot) on journeys to the Congo or the Orient, searching for stories.

Ordinary X-ray equipment would not penetrate deeply enough to show the interior of the sculpture. But on Sept. 15, Noble, using equipment developed to inspect the six-inch-thick steel hulls of nuclear submarines, was able to have a gamma-ray shadowgraph made. "They held up the film dripping wet, and for the first time I could see inside the horse," he says. "I could see the sand core, the iron wire and the iron points. That...
