...directors' invitation attracted a third and scrappy new bidder who helped turn the fight into a virtual Who's Who of finance and industry. Assembled by the First Boston investment firm, the group of newcomers included Jay Pritzker, the Chicago-based chairman of Hyatt Corp., his wealthy family and Philip Anschutz, a Denver oil billionaire. First Boston also wooed Harry Gray, the retired chairman of United Technologies, and several other high- rolling investors. The group came into the bidding with a show-stopping but tentative offer of cash and securities worth up to $26.8 billion, or $118 a share...

The publicity-shy chairman of the Hyatt Corp., Pritzker, 66, with his brother Robert, 62, surprised both Kravis and Johnson by joining the First Boston investment firm in an informal last-minute bid for RJR Nabisco valued at as much as $27 billion.

An incredulous Austin shook his head at Dukakis' micromanagement. But one of the ads, a Japan-bashing...

An official from the 143-hotel Hyatt chain, who was searching for numbers with significance, not long ago dialed CHECK-IN to see who had the listing. After some negotiations, Hyatt made the Oscars an offer they could not resist: $40,000 cash, $5,000 in credit toward hotel visits and $2,000 to print brochures with Oscarvision's new, more fitting number: PLAY...
...Republican gubernatorial campaign was an embarrassment for all involved. The campaign of the frontrunner for the GOP nomination, Greg Hyatt, was rocked by scandal. Hyatt's former secretary revealed she had seen him naked twice in his office, and a former client to his political consulting firm charged him with failing to complete a project...
