as David Badders/DN Woody Allen fetches laughs once again • -“Manhattan ? Murder Mystery” Woody Allen returns to what he does best with his latest film “Manhattan Murder Mystery.” Screwball comedy and madcap adventure abound, returning Allen to prime form. He’s back to nis old self, an angst-ridden New Yorker replete with various neuroses. He’s joined on screen by longtime Woody regular Diane Keaton. Keaton plays Carol Lipton, wife to Allen’s Larry, ami as before, they work together hilariously. Carol and Larry are a comfortable couple living in New York’sUpper East side—of course. Larry is an editor for Harper Publishing, and Carol toys with the idea of opening a restaurant. Their lives are fairly ordinary — uneventful and unexciting. That is, until Carol suspects their neighbor has murdered his wife. The Lipton’s lives are changed as Carol plays detective, breaking into the neighbor’s apartment, listening to his phone conversations and following him. Larry — a quaking mass ot cowardice, another Allen trait—is no help in the investigation so Carol turns toplaywright friend Ted (Alan Alda in a smarmy role). Their investigating is hilarious, as are Larry ’ s reactions to each and every new piece of evidence. Part mystery/thriller, part spoof, “Manhattan Murder Mystery” gives a classic Hitchcockian ending, with a little Allen twist that only serves to make it more fun. The adventures are classic madcap—the couple babble to the police incessantly and to no avail — and the comedy brings belly laugh after belly laugh. “Manhattan Murder Mystery” proves the Woodman has not lost his touch—or his sense of humor. —Anne Steyer SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 7:00 PM F o u r 1 h A n n u a I SERVICE OF CELEBRATION AND DEDICATION FOR THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR at CORNERSTONE-UMHE 640 North 16th Street A Special Service of Worship for All UNL Students, Faculty & Staff SPEAKER: DR.

Think about supporting yourself for twenty-five, thirty years or longer in retirement. It might be the greatest financial test you'll ever face. Fortunately, you have one valuable asset in your favor. Time. Time to take advantage of tax-deferral. Time for your money to grow. But starting early is key. Consider this: if you begin saving just $100 a month at age thirty, you can accumulate $172,109* by the time you reach age sixty-five. Wait ten years and you'd need to set aside $2ig a month to reach the same goal. At TIAA-CREF we not only under stand the value of starting early, we can help make it possible—with flexible retirement and tax-deferred annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of investment choices, and a record of personal service that spans 75 years.
