...ABOUT MY MOTHER A Madrid nurse (Cecilia Roth), luxuriating in grief, goes to Barcelona, where she learns to live again by tending to creatures even more wounded than she. Pedro Almodovar's screwball melodrama has all the kooky verve of his early comedies, but with a depth and life-enhancing warmth that proves Spain's bad boy has reached a vibrant maturity. If this movie doesn't touch your heart, consult a cardiologist. You may be missing something...
...Irene Roth, Bobby's fiancee (of five years, no less), Kate Earls '00 is perfectly cast--her elegance matches her ultra-glamorous wardrobe, which includes several full-length evening gowns, each more stylish and chic than the next. With her exaggerated snobbishness, Earls steals the show every time she appears, particularly in her thrilling rendition of "Naughty Baby" and her catfights with both Bobby's mother (Jenn Hyman ??) and Polly. Roth's ultimate love interest is found in Lank Hawkins (Jonathan Steinberger '01), a gun-toting, tough-talking, scene-stealing cowboy, who, along with Ben Kornell '02 as the ever...
...dramatic cinematic technique as the camera in close focus follows an IV line. The sense of determinism continues to operate as an amorphous force in every subsequent scene. The next shot is a scene in an impeccably furnished apartment in Madrid. Manuela, an organ-transplant nurse played by Cecilia Roth (a luminary of the foreign film industry, with an uncanny ability to evoke tears) sits watching All About Eve with her son, Esteban (Eloy Azorin). Esteban is turning 17 the next day, and his eyes seem bright with literary genius and joie d'vivre. The relationship between mother...

There are no mandatory distributions, and because the Roth is funded with after-tax dollars, there is no tax upon withdrawal. It's all yours--even the part that grew tax-free. Not everyone qualifies for a Roth. You must have an annual household income under $100,000 to convert an old IRA to a Roth, and under $160,000 ($110,000 for singles) to start one with new money...
...converted an old IRA into a Roth in 1998, you have until Dec. 31 to undo it. The deadline was recently extended to allow those who converted without knowing whether they qualified for the Roth the opportunity to correct their error. Many rushed to convert in 1998 because of a one-time grant to spread the resulting tax over four years. The effect, though, was to extend the period in which you can unconvert and then reconvert to the Roth. You'd want to do that if your IRA's value is much lower now than when you originally converted...
