...than many. He has at various times been a short-story writer, Golden Gloves boxer, top-ranked college football player, bartender, janitor, helicopter pilot, Army captain and scholar. He was graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Pomona College and went on to Oxford as a Rhodes scholar where, as Kris Carson, he dabbled in pop music. After quitting both academe and the Army, he began drifting. At 29 he found himself in Nashville, and he began writing songs like The Silver-Tongued Devil, Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down and Me and Bobby McGee...

With all due respect to the fans, commentators, columnists, and owners who utter cries of indignation at those fat contracts and predict the demise of the game, there are a number of justifications for the players' present bargaining...
Would you believe tweedy, rumpled James Schlesinger on the Tonight show, talking energy policy with Johnny Carson? Perhaps, if the Carter Administration has its way. Administration publicists are well aware that President Carter can push his energy program through Congress only if he builds a surge of popular support to sweep away the logrolling opposition of an extraordinarily broad array of special-interest groups. So they are planning a selling campaign going well beyond the usual. As one part, efforts are already under way to obtain bookings for Administration officials-as yet unannounced-to explain the program, not only...
