...things of being a girl," says Brent Ahrens, a Birmingham, Ala., store detective who cares for Malia, 5. But there are compensations. On his days off, Malia wakes him early, and they head off to a lake where a buddy has a boat. "She outfishes us both," he boasts. Deryck Miller, a youth counselor in Eagan, Minn., who has custody of daughter Nashan, 13, wasn't sure how to broach the subject of menstruation. In the end, he says, a Girl Scout manual "gave me the best breakdown." His advice to other dads: "Get to that other side...
...foul-mouthed and lavishly rewarded traders epitomized the masters-of-the-universe Wall Street culture of the 1980s. That swagger was staggered by a government bond-trading scandal in 1991 from which the firm never really recovered. Needing to broaden its portfolio beyond bonds to stay competitive, Salomon CEO Deryck Maughan approached Weill in August with a proposal. When Weill got the blessing of Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor who controls an 18.5% stake in Salomon that has yielded un-Buffett-like returns, the union...
Buffett, who owns 16% of Salomon's preferred stock and a legendary reputation for his investing, if not his investment-banking, savvy, assumed Solly's chairmanship after the board forced chairman John Gutfreund and two other top executives to step down.

MAHLER: SYMPHONY NO. 10 (2 LPs; Columbia). Gustav Mahler died in 1911 after orchestrating about half of his last symphony. Several Mahlerites have fleshed out the last movements, including British Composer Deryck Cooke (TIME, Nov. 26), whose inspired and faithful version was used for this first recording. The anxieties of Mahler's last summer, including illness and a marital crisis, along with the marginal notes on his manuscript ("Oh God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"), suggest that the music is programmatic in the most personal way. It is a melody-drenched, emotional and yet finally serene farewell to life...
What Mahler left of the work was a patchy sketch of seemingly inscrutable calligraphy. In 1924, Composer Ernst Krřenek stitched together the more fully outlined first and third movements, but abandoned the rest as unsalvageable. Then in 1960, British Musicologist Deryck Cooke set out to solve the enigma. Making a painstaking note-by-note transcription of Mahler's sketch, Cooke "found to my amazement that what I was slowly writing down was entirely intelligible and indeed fascinating music...
