...novella about the decline and foibles of a Manhattan salesman is now being made into a TV movie for PBS in New York City. The film, being produced by former Princeton students of Bellow's, has delighted the author, and last week he visited the set to make a cameo appearance walking down a hotel corridor past his hapless protagonist, Tommy Wilhelm, played by Robin Williams. The Nobel laureate has no ambitions about an Emmy. "I don't expect to add anything unless something of my absurdity comes through," says Bellow the actor. Bellow the writer was not tempted...
...employer's huffy outburst at her appearance, by remarking "Imagine what my boyfriend's boss is saying right now." Hare balances Alice's bohemianism with Susan's purified idealism--as Susan becomes progressively disconnected, Alice straightens herself out, eventually becoming one of Susan's few emotional supports.

Far from being a vanity production with a group of slumming opera stars, however, the performance is convincing and vital...
...piece for the school paper on female reproductive organs. Yawn, Carla, unresponsive to Louden's sexual urgings, plays the stoic sex kitten for most of the movie. She doesn't even take off her clothes, destroying any hope of a teen-sex angle. In addition, rocker Madonna makes a cameo appearance, and she doesn't take her clothes off either...
