Dukakis spent four years at the Kennedy-School of Government, and appointed K-School faculty such as Ira Jackson as commisioner of finance, and Executive Dean Hale Champion as his Chief of Staff.

Adam, for his part, can only listen in bemusement as a woman named Ira Funk whisks him through her architectural folly in Venice, Calif., chuckling, "Those Tudors just could never have dreamed up even one small bit of this."

Some money managers point out that the same limited tax break can easily be found in a tax-exempt municipal bond. Unlike the IRA, it imposes no penalties for early withdrawal. But some workers, at least, are still happy with the prospect of a stripped-down IRA. Richard Brody, 57, a New York City-based department-store buyer, plans to contribute to his retirement account next year even though he will be entitled to no tax deduction...
