...much at home in a smoke-filled room as any other politician, but this time the predawn billows in his $42-a-day Sheraton-Dallas Hotel suite were accompanied by a nasty little fire. All but blinded by the smoke, Tower groped his way to the bathroom, wrapped a wet towel around his face and yelled for help. The hotel's soundproofing tabled that motion, so the 5-ft. 5½-in. parliamentarian resourcefully slammed the table right through the window and down into the street 26 floors below...

Because they're real people! They're believable! They're your next-door neighbors, faces on the street, reflections in the bathroom mirror! TV viewers relate to them! They identify! Get it?
