	I was 70 in June 98, and I know I have to start divesting myself of
some of my IRA and Keogh investments.  Can someone point me to an
appropriate web site (or any other source of definitive info) that
gives an understandable explanation of the process and the actuarial
choices one has to select from?  What forms need to be filed?  I
assume one gets them from IRS, but I wrote them over 5 weeks ago, and
haven't received a response of any kind.  Are all tax-deferred
retirement investments such as IRAs and Keoghs counted together in
order to compute the current value of one's relevant investments?  As
of what point in time does one figure that current value?
	Do any of the large fund operations such as Dreyfus, Vanguard,
Fidelity, etc issue any free or low-cost booklets that explain how,
when and what?  Thanks.
