...IOWA. A spring storm last April nearly ended Robert D. Ray's political career when a twin-engined private plane in which he was a passenger crashed in an Iowa field. Ray's ankle was shattered in the accident, and the 40-year-old Republican moderate still limps. But his campaign did not. The one-time state G.O.P. chairman moved handily into the spot that existing Governor Harold Hughes had hoped to reserve for the Democratic candidate, State Treasurer Paul Franzenburg...
...TEXAS. Horn-rimmed glasses and a jaunty Stetson are the trademarks of Conservative Democrat Preston D. Smith, 56. The horn rims belong to the real estate entrepreneur and 18-year veteran of public office who had to work his way through high school at such jobs as picking cotton and pumping gas.

Happy on Anything. But Kurlander is trying again, this time with a flexible, polyethylene plastic called Sno-Mat. It was developed by two Italians three years ago and has been tested successfully at European resorts, including Cortina d'Ampezzo and Tarvisio. Sno-Mat's secret is that it comes in small, interlocking units, each of which looks like a giant pince-nez; they thus hug the contour of the land while presenting no joints to catch the sharp ski edges or the skier's thumb and fingers, should he fall. In addition, the units are covered with thick, round-ended...
