...Victorian murderess. At birth, on the Chrysler assembly line, she mysteriously killed a mechanic who dared to drop cigar ash on her upholstery. (Alfred Hitchcock once tried, unsuccessfully, to work a scene like this into a movie; now the trick has been solved.) Two decades later, Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon), nerd of high school nerds, owns Christine-and is possessed by her. In a trice this four-eyed Faust is transformed into a cool dude with clear skin, wrap-around shades, slick black hair and the sexy swagger of a Vegas lounge star. No wonder Leigh (Alexandra Paul), the prettiest...
...tracking shots mime the killer car's gliding menace; the deserted nighttime streets are washed chrome-shiny by rain. The high-school scenes, which are neither coarse nor condescending, put every other current teenpic to shame. Carpenter's cast mixes vigorous old pros with young comers; Keith Gordon is a hilariously intense Jekyll-and-Snide.

...Saturday, the Harvard men's track team easily outdistanced an Eagle team that only managed to place first five times in 17 tries Saturday at the Gordon Indoor Track, 100-44. The meet proved stirring for the sole reason that Harvard won 11 events, but also anticlimactic because the Eagles were never closer than the nine points they lost to the Crimson as the harriers swept the 35-lb weight context the very first event of what wins to be the glorious day for a Harvard spend that had lost, 78 1/2-58 1/2, to Army just a week earlier...
