The Celebrity Action Squad

By DAVID ELLIS

There's at least one group of Americans interested in the 1992 presidential race. A number of Hollywood artists have established a West Coast chapter of The Creative Coalition, the New York-based lobbying committee established in 1989 by actors ALEC BALDWIN (The Hunt for Red October) and RON SILVER (Reversal of Fortune). TCC/West is meeting regularly to map out a public affairs strategy and arrange a televised debate on campaign reform. Also in the talking stage is a series of professionally produced half-hour programs hosted by various stars that will analyze political advertising and explain how it often manipulates the viewer.
