Busiest of all the Pritzker holdings nowadays is its 57%-owned Hyatt Corp., which in twelve years has grown from a single unit to a chain of 14 hotels and 40 motels.

Not if they spend a warm summer afternoon walking between 50th and 51st Streets along the Avenue of the Americas. There, the crowds that congregate for a visit to the Time & Life Building's street-level Exhibition Center, and pause to relax near the fountains in the plaza, are likely to rival any on Broadway...
