We consider a wide class of cascading gauge theories which usually lead torunaway behaviour in the IR, and discuss possible deformations of thesuperpotential at the bottom of the cascade which stabilize the runawaydirection and provide stable non-supersymmetric vacua. The models we find mayallow for a weakly coupled supergravity analysis of dynamical supersymmetricbreaking in the context of the gauge/string correspondence.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figures.
