...mail carrier, Kasich delivers his balance-the-budget message with both regularity and passion. "The enemy of the American people is the status quo," says the chairman of the House Budget Committee. "It takes us on the road to bankruptcy." Kasich (rhymes with basic) isn't afraid to tilt at the White House or at G.O.P. leadership in order to cut spending. Kasich, 44, could win John Glenn's Senate seat in '98, if he can live down the infamy of once getting thrown off the stage at a Grateful Dead concert. He is less a Deadhead, though, than...
...purveyor, allow any hiker to play Martha Stewart. The portable kitchen weighs only 35 lbs. and yet contains 6 ft. of counter space, a sink, stove space, storage shelves, a paper-towel rack, a set of backgammon and a set of checkers. It all fits in a suitcase-size carrier. At $199 the movable diner is one of the company's best sellers...
...point, it had been set aside for Eastern Airlines; then it was supposed to become part of prerevolutionary Iran's official fleet. But it ended up with TWA. N93119 has flown all over the world, but in recent months it has served as a transatlantic carrier, flying mainly from Washington and New York City to Paris and points in the Mediterranean, including Tel Aviv and Athens.

...only has TWA survived, but the carrier once piloted by mogul Howard Hughes and later by corporate raider Carl Icahn has been enjoying a financial turnaround. Just hours before Flight 800 went down, TWA reported a $25.3 million profit for the second quarter, a fivefold gain over the same period a year ago. And with passenger traffic growing, and its $300 million cash stockpile rising, TWA has been planning to add as many as 40 Boeing 757s and 15 McDonnell Douglas MD80s to modernize the U.S. industry's oldest fleet (average age: nearly 20 years). The airline canceled a party...
Under Erickson, who was recruited in 1994 from discounter Reno Airlines, TWA has labored to become an up-to-date carrier. The company struck deals with workers and creditors that slashed $500 million from its $1.8 billion debt, including $130 million in reduced wages and benefits. TWA also cut its annual interest payments by $50 million. Incredibly, the airline only recently converted to computers to set fares and manage its inventory of seats to boost revenues for each flight. Notes Brian Harris, airline industry analyst for Lehman Bros.: "TWA had been operating in a 1970s time warp." This backwardness apparently...
