...handsome girl with high cheek bones, liquid eyes, and a voice like the woodwind section of an orchestra, Diana was blessed with good parents. Both her carpenter father and her milliner mother encouraged Diana in her ambition to become an actress, enrolling her in Manhattan's High School of Performing Arts. She sharpened her skill on an enviable series of supporting parts, won awards for her performance in Raisin in the Sun as a zany coed running a high fever in her frontal lobes and raves from the critics for her performance as a whore in last season...

"There is nothing like a dirty, lowdown political fight to put the roses in your cheeks," snaps Tracy with cantankerous glee. The candidates before him are Cliff Robertson, a cutthroat crusader who adapts his convictions to the latest Gallup surveys, and Henry Fonda, the idealistic egghead. Fonda lacks the cheek, magnetism, and driving ambition to make his bid for high office seem more than perfunctory. Thus...
