Finance Company Manager Frank La Barba, 30, packs more than his American Express card when he leaves his home in Long Beach, Calif., these days. In his luggage are twelve compact life-style support systems, including a 1/2- in.-thick electric shaver, a book-size radio, an even smaller iron, a collapsible fishing rod and a 5.3-oz. rechargeable power pencil sharpener.
