Amid the welter of toll-free 800 numbers, this one certainly stood out. Callers to 1-800-WANT-POT got exactly what they wanted -- $50 envelopes containing one-eighth of an ounce of marijuana delivered by bicycle to Manhattan street corners.

A self-made success in oil and ranching, Williams threw $6.5 million of his own into the pot. Yet last week a Gallup poll showed that his lead of 10 points had diminished to 5 since September. The survey indicated that Williams has slipped to 45% while Richards was holding steady...
