...which is presented five times in pop, rock, acid rock, country and gospel versions. Warbling it among a huge cast will be 55 entertainment and sports celebrities, ranging from tuneful Olivia Newton-John to frog-flat Paul Newman. (Among others: John Travolta, Cheryl Tiegs, Tracy Austin, Muhammad Ali, Carol Burnett.) A week later the NBC campaign will close in a Bob Hope special, with a call by the comedian for a continuing, nationwide antidrug alert...

John's go-between was said to be Burnett-Alleyne, a convicted smuggler who once recruited mercenaries to invade Barbados. The Charles administration believes the ten Americans, who were apprehended with an arsenal of automatic weapons and plastic explosives, were to enforce a government takeover by John-in cahoots, perhaps, with the island's marijuana growers...
