What the country is talking about this week 1 JIMMY CONNORS So much for actuarial tables. He was supposed to be at home listening to Lite FM in a pair of adult diapers. 2 PRINCESSES A sure hit-in homes without cable.
3 PEE-WEE'S COMEBACK Thank you, MTV. Now if Oliver Stone would just make a movie about him
4 SWATCH A special-edition $100 plastic watch that looks like a slice of bacon sold out in three hours. And we think drugs are a problem.
5 RAND MCNALLY We bust our butts to get out a map of unified Germany, and now there's this whole Soviet thing.
6 THE CLARENCE THOMAS NOMINATION Skin color isn't an issue. Skin thickness is.
7 FREDDY'S DEAD Absolutely, positively, unquestionably, without a doubt the last Freddy Krueger movie. Unless it makes money.
8 JERRY BROWN The New Age Democrat. His theme song is ''Buddha, Can You Spare a Dime?''
9 HEF'S NEW BABY What is he, sixtysomething? Maybe he wants someone to play with during his second childhood.
10 LASERDISC VIDEOS The latest ''must-have'' gadget for the home. Will they take a trade-in on a Betamax?
11 MIKE TYSON Another brush with the law. His alibi: He was out drinking with Ted Kennedy. Like Ted's gonna remember.
12 AIR SURFING Life Is Short. Grow Up.
13 PLAID The upper-crusty ''color'' for fall. Dressy enough for slow-recovery job hunting yet doesn't show the dirt.
14 ARTYOM BOROVIK 60 Minutes' Soviet reporter. So what's his big scoop? Stalin's long-lost brain, the Russian version of an Elvis sighting.
15 GERALDO'S BIO He could be a guest on one of his own shows: ''Grown Men Who Act Like Giggly, Smutty Preteens and Should Be Slapped.''
