Father Y. Father. Bohemian Harold Painter is, in fact, a bright, creative Californian with a superficially rootless history: his parents were divorced during his infancy; he grew up in a foster home, joined the Navy at 17, later quit college to become a newspaper reporter in Alaska and the state of Washington. In 1957 Painter married a fellow Anchorage reporter, Jeanne Bannister, despite Jeanne's parents' disapproval, and the couple lived and wrote together happily in Pullman, Wash. One day in 1962, while Painter stayed home tending Mark, his wife drove their daughter to nursery school...

Last week, after three splits and seven stock dividends, each of those 75,000 shares was worth $737-though the firm has by now sold some of them. Lehman has also enhanced its growth and prestige by creating two of the largest...
...Congo, various U.N. officials argued that he had no right to tell his story, which they felt was biased anyway. He was pictured as a guilty victim bent on self-justification. But O'Brien seems awfully clearheaded, and even lighthearted, as his U.N.-inspired image would imply. True, he quit two jobs after disagreements with his superiors, but there is much to indicate that he may have been justified in both cases...
