Hot rocks tropped as diamonds in Richardson stop
Richardson police stopped a Dallas man for DWI and found in his car stones that appeared real diamonds. The load of “hot rocks” were seized for study amid recent jewel thefts in the area. Dallas police later said the stones were fake. A Richardson detective heard the suspect planned to bet the stones in a poker game against an intoxicated newt.

Primary votes still wavering in Richardson polls
A Daily News survey of Richardson and Dallas voters shows widespread indecision before the May 6 state primary. Among Republicans crossovers lean to Frances Farenthold while governors races spark strong youth and adult support for Reagan and McElroy. Democrats favor Farenthold, Barnes, and Briscoe with shifting loyalties. Local races attract mixed decisions, notably in the U.S. House and district contests, with high school results skewing toward Straughan.
