TOBACCO: SMOKED OUT
The focus has shifted to teen smoking. But there are other fronts. Think smoking outdoors is still legal? Municipalities are now outlawing lighting up even in outside public spaces.
Davis, California Banned within 20 ft. of any building open to the public (people may smoke if they are walking past the building, however); punishable by fines of $50 for the first violation and up to $200 for a second

CONVENTION '96 GUIDE
The Democrats enter Chicago without quarrels--except for some historical baggage and the usual questions about campaign financing
WHO SLEPT HERE?
So how did the Democrats get the funds for their big party? Partly from organizing one-night stands. The Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization, has tracked 75 individuals who have contributed to Clinton's various campaigns or, since 1992, to the Democratic Party. They have all been rewarded with a stay in the White House, most of them in either the Lincoln Bedroom, right, or the Queen's Bedroom. Among the donors are such Hollywood luminaries as Steven Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw ($236,500, Plus $44,850 from his companies), Barbra Streisand ($81,500), Chevy Chase ($55,250), Tom Hanks ($5,250), Richard Dreyfuss ($3,850) and Mary Steenburgen ($2,000). But the top five are more than just famous:
1. Edith and Lew Wasserman, former chairman of the entertainment conglomerate MCA: $459,273, plus $133,900 from MCA and its employees
2. Barbara and Steven Grossman, president of the Massachusetts Envelope Co., a small printer of stationery and envelopes: $437,240
3. David Geffen, co-founder of Dreamworks SKG: $399,000, plus $49,000 from Dreamworks SKG and Geffen companies
4. Eileen and Peter Morton, computer entrepreneur who founded Norton Utilities: $350,750
5. Lorraine and Sidney Sheinberg, former president of MCA: $267,150
