Cliild stops kovcs a Eissppv' bunch Okay, okay, you asked for it, so Raquel Welch will tell you how she got that figure and how she keeps it, via a 90-minute videocas-sette coming out in late October. The gorgeous 40-ish Welch has a new twist, though. Unlike the other lovely ladies who tell women how to shape up, Rocky says her program is for men as well.

So, guys, if you're looking for the body beautiful, get in step and watch how Welch does it. Channel 7's Bill Beutel reports, after the GOP, convention, that the best way to see Dallas is from the rear view mirror. And Channel ll's Marvin Scott was written up in the Dallas papers for riding like a cowboy, herding some hundred or more longhorn steers into a corral. What did Scott think of the convention compared with playing cowboy for a day? Well, pardner, in both spots he found a lot of horse manure. Jim Fixx, in a jaunt last winter.

By PHIL ROURA and TOM POSTER All is grilSed in federal court Jim: AS! to moii Even though his family followed in his running shoes, Jim Fixx left his estate, estimated at several million dollars, to his mother, Marlys Fixx of Greenwich, the People Page has learned. Fixx, as you recall, started running for his health about 15 years ago and then wrote about how running improved his health. By writing about it, lecturing about it and endorsing commercial products, Fixx became a millionaire. The author was married twice. He had four children with first wife, Mary, of Oberlin, Ohio, where Fixx went to college.

Fixx and second wife, Alice, who sharedFixx fixation on running, had no children. Alice runs five miles a day around Central Park, say her neighbors. Fixx, 52, died of a heart attack while running July 20. Although his family had a record of heart problems, Fixx' death while running has caused some medical experts to question the wisdom of running. His will was filed in Greenwich.

Court sources said that none of his favorite charities or alma mater, Oberlin College, are mentioned. His mother is executor and authorized to disperse his estate as she wishes. A company headed by Muhammad Ali will be disbanded and will return about $1 million to investors, but attorneys for Champion Sports Management refused to concede that the organization did anything wrong. Ali testified in Manhattan Federal Court before Judge Robert Ward. Attorneys for the Securities and Exchange Commission questioned Ali, and Ira Sorkin, as SEC regional administrator, watched.

The company and Sorkin agreed that the company's prospectus might not have met all stiff SEC rules. Champion Sports was set up to train young fighters to become professionals. Ali, chairman of the company, was to be chief trainer. Ali appeared shaky under grilling, and Ward reserved decision on whether to issue a preliminary injunction to bar the company from repeating practices criticized by the SEC. Courtroom observers, plus our D.J.

Saunders, were surprised that Sorkin after the intense questioning of Ali asked the former champion for his autograph. Sorkin said it was "for my kids." Remember little Dickie Moore? One of the cutest child stars in the movies, Dickie is now Dick Moore, a hard-working New York union publicist, who is ready to tell the world what it was like. Moore has penned a biography of himself and stars like Shirley Temple, Natalie Wood, Jackie Coogan, Jane Withers, Gloria Jean, Peggy Ann Garner, Jane Powell, Mickey Rooney, called "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (but Don't Have Sex or Take the Car)." For example, writes Moore, "Most of us supported our families. We were strangers to our business and our parents, and for the most part, were totally naive when we went into it (the movies). In the 32 years I was an actor, my parents learned absolutely nothing about the mo- -tion picture business.

"Most of us were insecure and most of us were sexually very retarded. When I was 15, I had to give Shirley Temple her first screen kiss but it was my first kiss ever!" Most child stars didn't make big money. Shirley Temple did, but most, says Moore, did not benefit because their parents took most of their earnings. Moore, who asked all the other stars about their recollections, tells how Gloria Jean was secretly in love with Donald O'Connor but never told him. He hugged her once and broke her rib.

Jackie Cooper recalls dating Judy Garland when both were 13, then Jackie went on to date Bonita Granville when they were 16 to 19. Almost all the stars got married "in order to grow up" and because they were sexually naive all of the marriages failed. All looked up to Mickey Rooney for doing what he wanted to do. Married the first time when he was 21, to Ava Gardner, Rooney says: "I needed to be married like you need to paint Shea Stadium at midnight. But I'm happy I did it, because it was part of growing up." Moore pinpoints Shirley Temple as "Hollywood itself," and says that O'Connor wasn't allowed to cross the street by himself until he was 13; that Margaret O'Brien was kept under wraps at all times by her mother; that Jane Powell had ulcers at 19; Peggy Ann Garner didn't get any dates; Natalie Wood was in analysis for eight years; Jackie Coogan joined the Army and was forced to clean toilets because he was a star; and Judy Garland and Jane Withers were forced to wear pigtails and little-girl dresses in their teens.

They weren't, says Moore, a happy lot. CD idisfoiiif wcsvIsob'sCf iflres 8" Q. CO CO i to It's all over for Julius C.C. Edelstein. Once dubbed the "phantom mayor" during Robert F.

Wagner's stint in City Hall, Edelstein is retiring as City University's senior vice chancellor, ending an era in liberal Democratic politics in New York. Edelstein started his career as a youth in Franklin D. Roosevelt's time at the White House and served 15 years as assistant to Herbert Lehman, the governor and senator. He once had been regarded as the most powerful nonpolitician in politics. From his tiny office in the back of City Hall, Edelstein helped formulate Democratic policy and the many anti-poverty programs.

He was a Alvarado, who was forced to resign in a scandal. Edelstein's heart wasn't in his job after the Wagner defeat. Now 72, he will spend time writing and relaxing. The news of his retirement came up in a report of the minutes of the City U. Council of Presidents in discussing the coming fall term.

According to the minutes, Chancellor Joseph Murphy told council members that Edelstein "most likely" was attending his last meeting "since he is due to retire." The minutes state, "The council thanked the senior vice chancellor for his long and outstanding dedication to the university. The meeting was adjourned." major force is bringing blacks and Hispanics into top city positions. Edelstein, whose initials C.C. stand for Caius Caesar, was often dubbed Little Caesar because he was said to make and break a number of candidates with his political influence and behind-the-scenes maneuvers. After Wagner left City Hall, Edelstein moved into City U.

in the newly created post of vice chancellor for urban affairs, but Edelstein has always remained a power. He was responsible for backing his old boss son, former Deputy Mayor Robert Wagner as the city school chancellor. Wagner, was edged out of that post by Anthony Edelstein: old pro retires..
