...amusement park. I do. Add to that courses in economics at college and a sense of how the financial system works, and you get success." In his case, that has meant a 15-acre estate atop San Francisco Bay, a 41-ft. sailboat named, of course, Pong, a Lake Tahoe ski cabin and a Mercedes 450 SL. A former Mormon who has been divorced since 1973, Bushnell admits to "liking girls." Says he: "I find I have phone numbers in a lot of cities." King Pong hopes ultimately to work for the Government in such areas as energy...
...quite boogie time. The British rock group Emerson Lake & Palmer had not brought along a full 58-piece symphony orchestra for just another evening of chug-a-chug rock. As Maestro Salmon gave the downbeat, 9,500 fans, many reared on the violent excesses of Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop, got the first sampling of what was in store for them. From 40 huge loudspeaker enclosures suspended from the ceiling came the mighty sounds of Abaddon's Bolero, a work Composer-Pianist Keith Emerson has based on the same Spanish rhythm as the Ravel classic. After a few bars...
...Emerson Lake & Palmer are best known for their mastery of what is sometimes called classical rock, but what Emerson prefers to describe as "progressive rock with a lot of regard for the past."

That was more like an Emerson Lake & Palmer reception. From the start, ELP has known how to get attention: their opening set at the 1970 Isle of Wight festival, the group's first major gig, was announced by the roar of two cannons. But the fireworks that have made ELP rich consist of an innovative, complex kind of rock that seems to carry on the adventure of the Beatles' 1967 precedent-shattering Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Right now ELP's aim is not noise but the successful blending of both rock group...
...point was Carter's original "hit list" of 32 water projects. The President compromised and restored 14 of the originally doomed projects. Then the House Public Works Appropriations Subcommittee restored 17 of the 18 projects still on Carter's list. (The lone loser: the $1 million Grove Lake, Kans., flood-control project.) Carter met three times with the subcommittee chairman, Alabama Congressman Tom Bevill, 56, with little result. The President then enlisted the aid of House Majority Leader Thomas ("Tip") O'Neill Jr., who was only able to persuade Bevill to cut small sums from five...
