Summary:The man who shattered the career of his ex-wife, former Utah Congresswoman Enid Greene, has shed about 120 pounds and looks slender in sandy-colored inmate khakis. The doughy face once flashed on millions of TV screens now is tanned, another perk of his daily jogs around the grounds of Allenwood Federal Prison Camp in central Pennsylvania. Scheduled to be moved later this summer from the Allenwood minimum-security prison near Montgomery, Penn., to a halfway house, Waldholtz says he plans to return to school for an MBA. He remains a political junkie -- Joe has followed every turn of President Clinton's current travails -- but says he wants to avoid any return to spin control as a career. Touched off by his dramatic five-day dash from the law in November 1995, the Waldholtz scandal led Greene to seek a divorce and eventually step down after only one term in Congress. Even after his arrest, Waldholtz kept bouncing and forging checks, popping prescription pills and injecting heroin briefly before landing in the slammer.
