IF YOU THOUGHT COLLEGE WAS EXPENSIVE,TRY PUTTING YOURSELF THROUGH RETIREMENT.
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.
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
$219 a month to reach the same goal.
Time to take advantage of tax-deferral. Time for your money to grow.
At TLAA-CREF we not only understand 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.

Police arrest, chargeman in connection with tourist's death
MIAMI
A 19-year-old man was arrested in the slaying of a German tourist who was gunned downright his rental car when he refused to fall for a "bump-and-rob" scheme.
Police acting on a tip arrested Ricondall Wiggins on charges of murder and attempted robbery Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the slaying of 33-year-old Uwe Wenckes, who was the eighth foreign visitor killed in Fulda in a year.
Rakebrand was killed by a shot fired through his window and into his back from a van that had repeatedly bumped his car. Police said Rakebrand's pregnant wife had told him to keep going, as the safety pamphlet she was reading at the time advised.
Wiggins told police he was driving a rented van and led police to his aunt's house, where they found the sawed-off rifle used to kill Rakebrand, an agriculture engineer from Adendorf, Germany, police representative Dave Magmusson said.
Based on Wiggins' statements, police think at least one other person was involved and today are seeking a 19-year-old woman. Police arrested a woman they thought was the other suspect, but they let her go, citing a case of mistaken identity.
"It could have been your family. It could have been anybody in the community," he said.
Sgt. Gerald Green described the suspects as "hunters ... hunting for robbery victims."
U. S. Attorney General Janet Reno said she had asked aides for a report on the killing to help her determine what the federal government can do to help stem further attacks on tourists.

Breast implant lawsuits near end
Dow Corning Inc. said yesterday a $4.75 billion global settlement over silicone breast implants is being discussed by plaintiffs and defendants in the cases.
Under the proposal, industry participants, including manufacturers, raw material suppliers, insurance carriers, physicians and other health-care providers would pay into a fund that would serve as an insurance policy for women with breast implants.
Concern about silicone implants leaking or otherwise deteriorating and leading to a range of health problems in women has led to a wave of lawsuits against makers and suppliers. Dow Corning was the leading manufacturer of silicone gel breast implants before leaving the business last year. It began making the implants in 1964.
How much each defendant would contribute is being worked out. More than 1 million women are thought to have breast implants.
Dow Corning, equally owned by Midland-based Dow Chemical Co. and Corning Inc. of Corning, N.Y., is named in 6,800 lawsuits.
LOS ANGELES
Union blames lawyer for trial loss
The United Farm Workers asked a court to overturn a $2.9 million judgment against the union, saying its lawyer never disclosed that he suffered from depression and was ill-prepared for the high-stakes case.
In papers filed Wednesday in Superior Court, the union places much of the blame for its trial loss on attorney Carlos Castro.
Castro, who withdrew from the case in March, said that the union knew about his depression and that his condition didn't affect his performance.
On June 10, a Superior Court jury in Yuma, Ariz., awarded Bruce Church inc. of Salinas, Calif., $2.9 million after the grower claimed a union boycott scared grocery chains into dropping its Red Coach brand of lettuce in the mid-1980s.
The judgment, if upheld, could financially destroy the union, which has about $2 million in assets.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti
Mavoral choice brings violence
Mayoral choice brings violence
The casualty toll from Wednesday's violence mounted to five people killed and 31 wounded, including 11 with severe stab wounds. Mayor Evans Paul said
Police failed to protect supporters of Haiti's exiled president during a bloody battle at City Hall and even turned a mayoral aide over to an armed mob for a beating, the mavera said yesterday.
The violence broke out as Paul was being reinstated as mayor, a post he held until the 1991 military coup that ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
The shootings, stabbeds and beatings of Aristide supporters also raised the specter that more bloodshed could follow the exiled president's scheduled return in seven weeks.
"The complexity of the police with the assailants is obvious," Paul said. "The country cannot go on living in unchart this way. ... We will end up in control."
SYDNEY, Australia
Senate investigates navy scandal
In Australia's version of the Tailhook scandal, the Senate is set to examine claims of widespread sexual harassment and women-hating in the male-dominated Royal Australian Navy.
Defense Personnel Minister John Faulkner announced the investigation yesterday after a newspaper published the findings of a naval board of inquiry that last March upheld a complaint by a female naval reserve doctor, former Lt. Carol Wheat, 37.
Wheat said she resigned from the navy after she and four other female sailors were harassed by male officers during a voyage on the destroyer escort, H.M.A.S. (Her Majesty's Australian Ship) Swan, in 1992
