...WANT TO FIND Alexis Toomer this fall, don't bother checking the stacks of Widener. The days of thesis-angst are over, and she's got New York on her mind. So at the end of this month, take a trip to the Upper West Side of New York and you'll find Toomer living the life of a fledgling artist (with shelter provided by a generous Harvard classmate...
Looking back, I find it somewhat remarkable that 110 pages of anything could cause so much angst. Yet it seemed to have affected nearly all of us thesis-writers to some degree, provoking such bizarre forms of behavior that I wonder now whether we didn't all go a little temporarily insane...
...weeks (Fox is scheduled to weigh in this week) are a conservative, back-to-basics lot. The theme is old-fashioned, mass-audience entertainment, the kinds of shows the whole family can watch.

For the gala final episode, Julia Louis- Dreyfus makes a return appearance as Elaine (the movie career didn't work out) and meets her successor in the cast, Melanie Mayron. In a typically Seinfeldian life-imitates-art riff, George (Jason Alexander), now head of network programming, tells Jerry his sitcom is being canceled. Kramer (Michael Richards), elected to Congress in the eighth season, finds himself involved...
