Bill Clinton may have enjoyed his vacation at the Bloodworth-Thomason's beach house in SUMMERLAND, California, but some wealthy neighbors are sneering about "our tax dollars at play." Huffed one neighbor: "Have you seen the Porta Potties along Padaro Lane?" Others carp that on the $200,000 salary Clinton will earn as President, he is not rich enough to buy a house in the area. Ronald Reagan, of course, lived up the road, but at least he wasn't a Democrat. Sighed a jaded millionaire as Clinton departed: "We survived Carter, and we'll survive...
With an intellect unencumbered by a comparable ego, Stephanopoulos was able to bridge the chasm separating the campaign's often mismatched personalities. He made sure that Hollywood's laid-back producer Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, who made the convention bio-film, was on speaking terms with chain-smoking, laser-intense Grunwald; he doled out face time on television among aspiring talking heads; not least, he soothed the brilliant, tightly coiled gonzo strategist James Carville by watching infomercials and Julia Child with him when Carville was too nervous to work...

And the strong Friday night figures for the new Golden Palace (a spin-off of the successful Golden Girls) and Picket Fences (a reworking of the rural-gothic themes of Emmy-winning Northern Exposure) may create a new bridgehead for the Tiffany Network...
...closest thing TV has to an advocacy producer is Linda Bloodworth- Thomason , creator of three current network shows: Designing Women, Evening Shade and the upcoming Hearts Afire. She and her husband Harry Thomason are Clinton friends and supporters (and part-time residents of Little Rock) who produced the biographical film that introduced the candidate at the Democratic Convention. "So-called serious newspeople miss the powerful potential of the entertainment forum as a means of influencing people's lives in a positive way," she says. "I have my own column on TV, and I take it as seriously as does Mike...
