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. On the other hand, John Sullivan, 42, an executive at Marine Terminals in San Francisco...
