Richardson is the kind of guy who could take or leave a senate seat, and only recently has he put any elbow grease into the primary campaign. We hope he takes the party's nomination, because if the Senate is to have another Republican it should be someone who doesn't belive that Reagan and the far-right Rep. Jack F. Kemp (R-N.Y.), if left to their own devices, would solve the world's problems in seven days...

...their way to winning big in freestyle wrestling, the U.S. athletes grappled as much with controversy as they did with rival matmen. The 180-lb. contender Mark Schultz lost an early match because he used an illegal armlock that broke a Turkish opponent's elbow. Capping it all, a letter from a top U.S. wrestling official was sent to Coach Dan Gable asking him to resign once the Olympics are over. Reason: Gable, a gold medalist in the 1972 Games, had taken sides with one of two wrestlers in a court dispute over which athlete had legally made...

Schwartz shamelessly takes ideas from friends' experiences. Says the writer: "It's easier to find new friends "than new columns." She also digs a working woman's elbow into dippy socialites and celebrity puritans like Diet Doctor Nathan Pritikin, whom she took to a Dallas taco joint. While he showed her how to eat healthily even there, she thought ravenously of "guilty nachos." Discovering Orlando, Fla., Schwartz announced, "Forget singles bars, forget computer matchmaking, forget gourmet dating clubs. If you want to meet a man, head straight for Disney World . . . I was there last week...

...difference between the two. Others charge that Herrell's is creamier, Steve's richer... Decide for yourself. Both feature an awesome array of candy and fruit toppings, which can be sprinkled on top or mixed into the ice cream (slightly higher charge for mix-ins--they use lots of elbow grease.) Very serious hot fudge, and the prices (about $2for a large Scoop with Reese's) reflect the extremity of this permanent fad.
