Mexican Fried Ice Cream (1981); Bloomberg's daughter, the Horse Jumper

BLOOMBERG'S DAUGHTER, THE HORSE JUMPER
...
I just read the following in the local Clinton Chronicle (Hell's Kitchen).  The late David Shulman would always say that Steve Brodie was a Bridge Jumper, but he in fact jumped OVER no bridges.
...
Does Mayor Bloomberg's daughter jump over horses? Does she jump FROM horses? So how is she a horse Jumper if the horses do the jumping??

Good Lord! Bloomberg Said It Again!
Cites His Daughter The Horse Jumper As Reason For Olympics
Clinton Chronicle
As we reported a couple of months ago, when pressed for a reason to bring the Olympics to NYC in 2012, Mayor Bloomberg has a habit of saying that it would be a good thing for his daughter. Last month when he went to Berlin in a last ditch effort to pitch the idea, Bloomberg told the assembled representatives:
"...[M]y own daughter, Georgina, trained six hours a day for the chance to compete in equestrian at the Beijing Games. Maybe it's just a father's pride, but my dream is to watch her compete in New York four years later."
What a stunningly egocentric man.

MEXICAN FRIED ICE CREAM
...
I ate at El Azteca Mexican Restaurant, 783 Ninth Avenue (Corner 52nd Street). Fried ice cream was on the dessert list (but I had the "sopapilla" instead).
...
The first ProQuest cite is the New York Times in 1981, but it mentions the Los Angeles Times. I guess we have to wait until ProQuest finishes the latter for the 1970s.
