...thought of as a political Zen master, a general without troops, a giver without desires. He talks frequently with White House officials, gave $320,000 to Democrats during the past four years and brought Bill Clinton into his Malibu, California, home to dine with key contributors like Steven Spielberg ($200,000) and Jeffrey Katzenberg ($195,000). Yet Geffen told TIME, "I have no active involvement in trying to influence legislation of any kind." He is the President's point man in Hollywood, making connections and keeping the campaign money flowing, even though the town's infatuation with Clinton is gone...

With Comedy Central's success has come a problem: the networks have come poaching. Steven Spielberg's new DreamWorks studio has hired Katz to develop new TV projects, and he is already at work on two potential sitcoms, one each for ABC and NBC. (Katz describes them only as "animated and not Friends"). Meanwhile, ABC is talking about acquiring Politically Incorrect in 1997, possibly to follow Nightline...

...album, Whitney Houston, and has sold 80 million records worldwide since. Her sweet lyrics (Didn't We Almost Have It All) recall the classic romances of Hollywood in the 1940s; her adventurous vocals (in songs like her majestic megahit I Will Always Love You) have the grandiosity of a Spielberg epic.
