...single and worried," says the clean-cut young man in one ad. "I'm a nice guy. I go out with nice girls. These days, some pretty terrible things are happening to some really nice people." Only one of the Trojan spots uses the word condom, and none mention AIDS. (A unique KRON stricture: during a six-month trial, any prophylactics advertiser must match the money it spends for airtime with a donation to AIDS research; KRON will donate its revenues from...

Last week, after a three-month battle to gain control of the largest U.S. steelmaker, Icahn abruptly gave up, outmaneuvered by Roderick. The corporate raider and TWA chairman had been unable to raise the $10.5 billion needed to capture the company. Says Joachim Schnabel, investment officer for the College Retirement Equities Fund, which holds more than 2 million USX shares: "You have to credit USX management for not caving...
