GRAND PRIX. With the help of Cinerama, Metrocolor and Super Panavision, Director John Frankenheimer has captured most of the excitement-and all of the noise-of last year's nine-race Grand Prix competition for Formula One racing cars.

But it isn't really admirable to write a novel devoid of plot, characterization, style, significance, and concern. It's just a colossal lot of nerve...
