...triple platinum; her Papa Don't Preach single did time at No. 1. In her new movie she co-stars with Husband Sean Penn, that terrific actor and legendary cutup. Last winter, when the newlyweds made the film, they also made headlines on every tabloid front page. There would seem to be a bit of "want see" here. And yet MGM, the distributor of Shanghai Surprise, has drop-kicked it into the marketplace like a turkey carcass...
Although women's organizations have played an important part in many elections, they seem to have been relegated to the background role of fund raiser and networker on the campaign trail. Raising money is still more difficult for women than men, says Natividad, because "women tend to be challengers, and political-action-committee money tends to go for the incumbents." This year the Washington-based Women's Campaign Fund, founded in 1974, is raising money for more than 100 progressive female candidates.

In CBS's Downtown, a tough cop gets crime-fighting help from four oddball parolees, a sort of B-Team. In addition to the routine fare, however, Bochco and Mann are introducing second- generation...
...over a period of nearly two decades. The two-hour premiere, set in 1962, is in many ways a throwback. The cops wear black trench coats and fedoras and wield their pistols with one hand, cowboy-style, rather than by Hill Street's two-handed method. The Mob characters seem to predate The Godfather, and nobody has heard of drugs. Most of the crimes are, quaintly, jewelry heists...
