PRUDENTIAL'S ON STAGE (NBC, 9:30-11 p.m.). The first of five original dramas, Certain Honorable Men, by Rod Serling, focuses on U.S. Congressmen caught in the vortex of national politics. The cast includes Pat Hingle, Van Heflin, Peter Fonda...
...Offer for $25,000 for a book on Peter Fonda. That's $25,000 advance. Offer to do a syndicated column for Newsday-here and abroad. A funny letter from a girl who says she just read the Peter Fonda one and who is Holden Caulfield? Is it somebody she should know...

And they are ably backed by a surprisingly supple comedian named Van Johnson...
