The article focuses on the book "A Roman Holiday," by Don Ryan. Ryan has dedicated his new novel to Oswald Spengler. Appropriately, too, he has chosen for his protagonist a woman with a man's mind, an uprooted woman who in girlhood has run away from a sordid home to become a hooch dancer in Tia Juana. But that is only the first step, for Diana is not only ambitious, she is a reader, an intellectual, who learns from the philosophers and poets as she goes along. She works her way to Hollywood gets into the movies, and rises to stardom only to have her career shattered by a scandal that rocks the motion-picture world.
