...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...

And, she adds proudly, "her name was put above the title," which in the advertisements was accompanied by a shot of Romina sprawled nude on a towel decorated with water melons.

She takes every short cut, squeezes lemons through "my ever-clean dish towel," samples sauces with her fingers. No matter if she breaks the rules. Her verve and insouciance will see her through. Even her failures and faux pas are classic. When a potato pancake falls on the worktable, she scoops it back into the pan, bats her big blue eyes at the cameras...
