Don't Put Your Decision to
Buy Health Insurance on Ice.
Lost ti'ecft; McDugan went to
Greenwich Village to stalk Walt
He found Walt stealing a wom
an 's purss and the chass was on!
After capturing and asking him
preliminary questions, McDugan
planned on taking Walt in "hut
Walt kneed 6ur hero in the chint
and McDugan was foiled again.
Until now ...
McDugan McGruder stepped off
the public transit bus and found
himself back on the street with
no clues. Walt was an odd sort,
McDugan thought. He walked up
the stoop and looked at the doors
of the 14th precinct. McDugan
hadnt been inside a Police sta
tion for 10 years. It was only a
decade ago that McDugan was
forced out of the New York Police
Department for taking bribes.
McDugan knew he was entrapped,
and fought his firing. He took the
case to court and lost. You cant
call the police to arrest the police.
The toughest thing for McDugan
was to get up on the witness
stand and call Si. Vindipeo a liar
and a fraud. McDugan under
stood that he Was never part of
the fraternity.
The glass doors yawned as
McDugan stepped into the sta
tion. He smelled rotten cigarettes
and bodily fluids.
Sgt. Vindipeo had the same
hunched-shoulder slouch and a
cigarette of his usual brand hung
from his lip. McDugan felt his
chin where Walt kneed him. He
felt crusty, dried flakes,
"Sgt. Vindipeo. I'd Like to report
an assault," McDugan's voice crack
ed. "McGruder. I thought I'd never
have to stare at your face again."
The sergeant squinted through
the smoke and shook his head.
"You never did understand how
things happen "round here."
"All I want is to report . . ."
Sgt. Vindipeo cut McDugan
short. "Ill tell you what to report,
you scab! Get outta here! We
dont need the morality of folk
like you. You cost me a raise with
your lies."
"You were trying to get rid of
me and I didnt want to leave."
"Leave now." Vindipeo was icy.
"Leave right now, McGruder."
McDugan pointed his finger. It
moved like wheat in a summer
wind. "I did my job. If your boys
wouldVe respected the oath they
took, Gotham would be a cleaner
place."
From a glass-enclosed booth in
the back of the station, Walt
yelled, "It's him! He's the one that
punched my eyeball."
McDugan cringed. Wait raced
to the front desk and stood be
hind Sgt. Vindipeo. "It was him!"
"He stole a purse. I tried to get
it back." McDugan knew he was in
a hole. "I really didnt do it. I came
here to tell you what he did."
"We're gonna lock you up, Mc
Dugan." Vindipeo caughed again.
"Give me a minute alone with
Walt." McDugan had to act quick.
"Let me see what I can work out."
Walt tilted his head and Sgt Vin
dipeo gave in and left to get a cup
of coffee to soothe his throat.
"What's the deal Walt? These
guys want my skin." McDugan
steamed. " '
"I know. That's why I came
here. Listen, McDugan. I got this
chance to win $25,000 and a trip
to Mexico. I'm going to be a con
testant on Wink Winkydinks game
show, Tic, Tic, Tsk."
"I know the show! It takes years
to get on." McDugan saw fame.
"Yeah," Walt pleaded, "111 split
the win. I'll drop the charges if
you go with me." McDugan led
Walt out the door. He always had
dreamed of seeing Wink Winky
dink in the flesh.
'Tightrope ' is
intense, solid
Review MHie George
Daily Nebr&fikaa EUfT Writer
There have not been many
movies that qualify a3 an "out
standing movie in 1 03 1, but Clint
Eastwood's new thriller, "Tight
rope," may fall Into that category.
Eastwood portrays street-wise
detective We3 Block. Block is one
of a dying breed of hard-nosed
detectives.
Tightrope" is guaranteed to
keep viewers glued to their seats
throughout the movie. Thanks to
a solid story line and an intense
plot, Tightrope" has all the mak
ings of a classic mystery, such as
Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho," and
Agatha Christie's "Murder on the
Orient Express."
To take a brief look at the plot,
Eastwood is in search of a psy
chotic sex killer who is roaming
through the city. Aside from the
vague trail that the killer sets to
keep from the authorities, East
wood must fight obstacles such
as & pesky reporter and govern
ment officials who try to keep1
him from solving the mystery.
The action scenes in Tight
rope" were brilliantly performed
from start to finish. At times, the
script seems to fall short of per
fect, and sometimes things are
better off left unsaid, but thanks
to constant action, these make
little difference.
This movie could be among
Eastwood's finest pictures The
Outlaw Josey Wales," "Hon
keytonk Man," "Play Misty For
