f you’ve been considering donating part of your IRA to charity to satisfy your required minimum distribution, now is the time to act. Congress passed the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, permanently allowing IRA owners who are at least 70 1/2 I years old to give up to $100,000 directly from an IRA to a charity without having to include the distribution in taxable income for the tax year. Donating IRA funds directly to qualified charities allows the IRA holder or beneficiary to avoid taking possession of the funds and the tax bill that comes with them. It also allows the extra income to be excluded from tax formulas for Medicare premiums or for the Pease limita- tion on itemized deductions.

JACKPOT! SPOTLIGHT Tolkien & Lewis: Myth, Imagination & The Quest for Meaning Sunday, December 17 at 9 p.m.

On a dreary September evening in 1931, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R.Tolkien and their friend and fellow scholar, Hugo Dyson, met for dinner and debate in Oxford, England. Lewis' transformation from atheist to theist to Christian was based on the insights of Tolkien and Dyson as they engaged in deep conversation about mythology, reality, ritual, imagination and faith.The discussion in that room is at the heart of this special. It explores the fundamental characteristics of myth in a global context, with an emphasis on how it impacts our lives.The film engages Michele Placido scholars from various spiritual and WORLDVIEW SPOTLIGHT academic viewpoints while challeng- The Last Godfather ing viewers to draw their own conclu- Tuesday, December 5 and 12 at 6 p.m. sions about the meaning of life and Truth can be stranger than fiction. The des- perate campaign by Italian police to catch the role that mythology and imagina- aging Mafia head Bernardo Provenzano is tion play in determining belief. depicted in the two-part drama. Michele Placido (The Octopus, Aldo Moro: 55 Days to Death) stars in this gripping docudrama about Mafia boss Bernardo Provenzano, who lived as a fugitive for 43 years. Nino Frassica (Don Matteo) and Guido Caprino (Inspector Manara) co-star. In Part 1, Provenzano gathers Mafia rivals together to try and implement his vision for a more invisible, lucrative organization. Then in Part 2, the police take a new approach in their pursuit as Provenzano continues to evade capture. Repeats same days at 9 p.m. In Italian with English subtitles. J.R.R. Tolkien

REWIND SPOTLIGHT Great Escape: The Reckoning Saturday, December 23 at 10 p.m. Many of us are familiar with the story of The Great Escape, when 76 airmen broke out of a German prisoner of war camp during World War II in a dramatic bid for freedom. But its chilling sequel, in which 50 Allied airmen were captured and then murdered by the Gestapo on the orders of a vengeful Adolf Hitler, is largely unknown. Now, for the first time, this compelling drama-documentary – which uses actual reports and court tran- scripts from the time – depicts the story of a little-known investigation: that of the dedicated RAF Special Investigation Brand team which set about tracking down the Gestapo suspects who killed their men.This is the Great Escape: The Reckoning untold story of one of history's most remarkable criminal investigations.
