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...
