...headaches in dealing with retirement savings in your retirement years. 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...
...have until April 15, or the date you file your return, to open a tax-advantaged IRA, assuming you qualify. But it's increasingly likely that you'll qualify for a Keogh, which must be established by year-end. A Keogh is a tax-deferred savings vehicle, like a 401(k), for the self-employed.

The Pentagon's reluctance earlier this year to send the Army's AH-64 Apache helicopter gunships into battle over Kosovo showed how quickly cold war weapons can become irrelevant. Slowly, the Army is coming to realize that it may be too cumbersome and too complex for future conflicts. The service is weighing...
...strategy for responding to these dangers. But the world's leading nation cannot remain divided on how to respond to the world's gravest threats. The Administration and Congress have worked together in the past on such key issues as the Chemical Weapons Convention and NATO enlargement. We must put aside partisan distractions and work together...
