Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. In addition to the steps below I 
made sure the engine ground strap was good and put on a different 
starter relay, cleaning all the connections there too.

Still no change in the symptions (headlights are dim and the pressing 
the horn ring only makes the horn relay buzz; starter a no go).

So I then removed the two wires going to the starter and cleaned them 
off, as well as the connections on the starter.

Result: bright headlights, horn blows, and starter spins! Poly fired 
right up. :-)
