He refused to serve under Thatcher and has kept up steady criticism of her policies. But he welcomed her in the Savoy Hotel Wednesday, and they chatted amiably among more than 500 guests marking Heath's '10 years in the House of Commons. Heath said he was "very touched" that Thatcher had found the time to be there.

Rocky Statue Fights for Survival PHILADELPHIA Long odds never bothered Sylvester Stallone's cinematic alter ego Rocky Balboa, but his fans have an uphill battle to keep Rocky's 8V4-foot bronze likeness atop the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

"Would you like to buy a prizefighter 8 feet high?" museum President Robert Montgomery Scott asked Wednesday. Scott wants the statue gone from the front of the museum when filming is done for "Rocky but the prop-turned-tourist-attraction is gaining supporters, including Mayor W. Wilson Goode. "There is a contract between the 'Rocky production group and ourselves that it will be removed on Saturday but they've been pushing pretty hard to keep it there," Scott said.

Israel Honors Greece's Tsatsou ATHENS Israel today awarded Ioanna Tsatsou, the widow of a former Greek president, the title Righteous of Nations for helping save the lives of Jews during the Nazi occupation of Greece. An Israeli diplomatic representative in Athens presented the award to Tsatsou, an author and sister of Nobel laureate George Scfcris. Of the 65,000 Greek Jews, only 6,500 survived the Holocaust, mostly through the efforts of Greek Christians who hid them. Tsatsou's husband, Constantino Tsatsos, was the first president after the end of Greece's monarchy.

He held the mostly ceremonial post from 1975 to '80 and died in 1987. No 'Late Night' for Clements AUSTIN, Tex. An invitation by David Lettcrman for governors to send in half-minute videotapes about their states hasn't stirred much excitement in Texas. Gov. Bill Clements said he has never seen NBC's "Late Night with David Lettcrman" or its host.

"I haven't and don't intend to," Clements said, adding that he is usually in bed an hour before the show comes on. On Wednesday, Clements said, "Why not?" when asked if he would be interested in sending a tape for Letterman's series of "Gubernatorial Minutes." But today, Rossanna Salazar, the governor's press secretary, said Clements probably would not send in a tape because of his tight schedule and the potential for biting remarks from comedian Lettcrman. l-'rom Tunes Staff ami Wire Service Reports bedroom or into my head again tonight as if I had never mentioned the subject before.

I need that period from about 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 or 6:45 to clear out my head for the wifc-and-mothcr stuff of the evening.

If he tries lo talk to me or push mc down on a bed around then, I am a grouch. This is not really under my conlrol. I have explained all this and he understands, but if I am not careful he will come barging into the get her head down on Ihc pillow for half an SomelhinR that tells him he deserves a polite refusal, not a snarl, but you really do need this time lo yourself?

I liel. is mostly just letting go of the day preoccupations. By DR. RUTH WliSTIIEIMGK Question: It happens that I love my husband very much. I notice that people writing to you or talking to you on a talk show will insist that they love him or her very much.

I want to be like everybody else, only I'm not I do love him but not all day long, and there is the sad truth. In the office around 3 p.m. I usually have some very lender thoughts about him.
