Greenberg was, until recently, one of the valued CEOs who dutifully hit his numbers. Investors who didn't ask how he did it may wish they had. A broad range of AIG transactions are now being probed by regulators, and AIG's shares have plunged...
...music teacher, Ustaad Amin Jan Mazari, who listened to him and took him on for free. In the South Asian tradition of gurus and disciples, Mirwais lived with his teacher "like a son," recalls Mazari.

In Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump, an '82 picture in the Brooklyn show, he applied broad washes of pigment in a way that suggests a cross between Willem de Kooning's surfs of color and any kid's finger paintings. The boy is then built up out of a host of ragged gestures. Basquiat may not have been trained in academic drawing, but at least...
