...STAGE 67 (ABC, 10-11 p.m.). Rick Nelson and Joanie Sommers play it "On the Flip Side," an offbeat musical about an aging teen-age idol whose singing career gets an unexpected boost from a truly heaven-sent vocal group called The Celestials...

(Chamberlain, by contrast, has hit on only 38%.) Rick perfected his long-range shooting in off-season practice sessions with his wife Pamela, the daughter of Miami Coach Bruce Hale. "We played a game against each other," he says. "I would only shoot from 20 or 25 ft. out, and Pam would take shots from closer to the basket...
