...rose on a crisp 30-degree morning, unseeded Roberts dispatched her first foe...
...every turn Bruno outwrestled Hansen, and four times the cowardly challenger climbed out of the ring to avoid the wrath of the champion. The fifth time Bruno was not to be put off by such illegal shenanigans and leapt out of the ring after his staggering foe. Around and around the ring Bruno chased the terrified Hansen, until the craven defrauder had to crawl back into the ring to save his skin.

The allegation simply reopened an issue Walker exploited in the primary: that Hewlett accepted $15,000 annually from a steel company while he was on the state payroll. "How else are you going to raise a family of six children and take care of a 90-year-old mother-in-law?" Hewlett asks...
