...stinging like a bee at the conferences, goes back a long way. It is grounded in his wealth; he did not need to build for a living. The son of a well-off Cleveland lawyer who handed over to him a bundle of stock in a new company named Alcoa, Johnson lives in a manner unrivaled by many architects since the days of the gentlemen dilettanti of Georgian England.
