While the camera's relentless eye has shown an uneasy and distressed President Bush, Bill Clinton and Al Gore, caught here on the eve of their bus tour through the Midwest, couldn't look more pleased -- with each other or with their media technique. So far, they've used television to their advantage, never letting coverage get seriously out of hand. Next week comes the Republican Convention, which may swing the tide back toward Bush, reduce the Democratic lead in the polls, and signal the beginning of the electoral season's tougher phase...
...distant seventh. The reluctant chairman wants out of a bad investment, which he claims has cost him personally at least $100 million. The airline has lost more than $511 million since 1990, including $104 million in this year's first quarter. TWA's workers, angered by Icahn's relentless quest to cut costs, blame him for driving the carrier into the ground. But before Icahn can exit, he has to satisfy union demands for job security. He also has to resolve an order by federal pension authorities to make up a shortfall in TWA pensions of $1.1 billion. (See related...

His way of dealing with that was to carp about criticism and Republican "dirty tricks" rather than take initiatives that command positive attention. In early July, with the campaign sagging, Jordan confronted Perot. It isn't working, the veteran told the novice. Unless you let us make some basic changes, I'll quit. Perot wished Jordan well and said he should leave anytime...
...some reason, most major American plays center on conflict between fathers and sons. That terrain is revisited touchingly if without revelations in UNFINISHED STORIES, which retraces a classic immigrant generational cycle: from unyielding tradition to relentless assimilation to fervent rediscovery of old ways. Earnestly written by Sybille Pearson and meticulously staged by artistic director Gordon Davidson for Los Angeles' Mark Taper Forum, the show stars Joseph Wiseman, Hal Linden, Christopher Collet and Fionnula Flanagan. The title refers to interrupted anecdotes that are a metaphor for how families live together yet alone. Alas, it is the sole hint of subtext amid...
