...energy-efficient, and for four years the people who live in the shadow of the giant smokestack have warned that the engines will produce pollutants that are dangerous to their health. The state agency which looks after such things has supported the citizens and the engines are gathering dust in a South Boston warehouse...
This morning, in mock-funeral fashion, the motorcade of atomic-age pilgrims solemnly winds its way past whorls of dust and yucca bushes to reach the 6-ft. Cyclone chain-link fence that surrounds the blast area. Among the pilgrims, some 1,700 of them, are mothers and babies, parents and grandparents, families of three and four who scurry out of cars, Minoltas in hand, eager to record for posterity the "place where it all began." What they see is nothing much. The original 400-yd., 25-ft.-deep crater has long since been filled in to prevent further radiation...

In Every Man for Himself, the first Godard film to be distributed in the U.S. since 1972, he has tried to make an accessible movie while still speaking in his steely, ironic voice. But Godard will...
