Instead of putting on cruise control, however, the Crimson stomped down on the accelerator even harder and took off like an angry Ferrari. Still in the first half, freshman rising-star Erin Aeschliman gave up a seat on the bench to score Harvard's next two goals. Right on Aeschliman's heels, Gudeman tallied one for the veterans to end Harvard's first-half scoring tantrum...
...good things" she tells us about, but those of us who shop at K Mart can't spend $10 on a cookie cutter or dedicate an entire room to storing gift wraps. Nor do we have a barn out back that we can quickly convert into a room to seat 32 guests for dinner. Yes, I watch Stewart's programs and read her magazine occasionally; then I go to K Mart and try to find a cheap alternative to the ideas she has given me. Or I just sit there and think, yeah, maybe someday. ANGELIKA DAWSON Abbotsford...
...York City. He had left his home in Pittsburgh, Pa., the previous afternoon and flown to Raleigh, N.C., via Cincinnati and at 4:10 p.m. the next day was on his way to his office on Long Island. He had traveled all four legs on Comair's 50-seat Canadair Regional Jets. He was thrilled, a feeling that commuter-airline passengers usually get only in dicey weather. "I have some reservations when I'm told I'm flying a Delta Connection flight," said Paffenroth, uttering the dreaded words that often indicate a slow, noisy, cramped trip in a turboprop...

Introduced in the U.S. in 1993 by Comair, a Cincinnati-based carrier and Delta partner, the twin-engine CRJ, made by Montreal's Bombardier, has become the mainstay of Comair's fleet. The CRJ and a rival regional made by Brazil's Embraer are steadily supplanting turbos. They had been stalled...
...regional jets have changed the economics of commuter flights and, by extension, the markets that can be served. In smaller markets, most commuting passengers have no choice but to fly on turboprops, anything from the 19-seat Beech 1900 to the 70-seat ATR-72. But the new minijets can fly at higher altitudes and faster speeds than turboprops. Comair had five daily flights from Cincinnati to Appleton, Wis., a paper-industry center, on 30-seat Embraer turboprops. It now has six flights a day to Appleton, five of which use 50-seat jets. Says Michael Fletcher, a service engineer...
