DescriptionComing in the midst of the strongest challenge of his political career, Senator William Roth's physical collapse in a television interview last week could not have been timed more awkwardly.

The videotape is explicit. Standing in the lobby of Hotel DuPont in downtown Wilmington, talking to a reporter, Roth, who is 79, can be seen appearing to grow faint. His eyes roll upward and he falls backward, striking his head on the wall before hitting the floor. Comcast, a regional cable operation, showed no more of the incident in its newscast, but resumed the interview a few minutes later after Roth recovered.
