College Investments Take a deep breath. When the new law is finalized, it may permit withdrawals from an ira without penalty to finance a college education. Another option may be a nondeductible contribution to a new, "education" IRA, one that earns tax-free interest that can be withdrawn tax-free if used for college. President Clinton, meanwhile, has talked of a Kidsave account: parents could contribute the $500 per child tax credit plus another $500 that could be withdrawn tax free for the child's education.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Remember Ira Magaziner? He was Hillary Clinton's partner in formulating the extremely complex 1993 Clinton healthcare reform proposal. Web entrepreneurs who may have been a tad concerned to learn that Magaziner's next big challenge was formulating the White House Web commerce strategy announced today may be relieved to see that while President Clinton seems determined to control some forms of Web content, he's taking a hands-off approach to Web commerce. In presenting a policy paper designed to serve as blueprint for government control of the Internet, from copyright protections to privacy considerations, the President...
