A founding partner in the buyout firm of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, the Manhattan socialite, 44, countered Johnson's proposal by offering to pay as much as $21.6 billion for the Atlanta-based company. As RJR's new owner, Kravis, whose firm also controls Beatrice and Safeway Stores, would probably keep the food divisions and sell the tobacco business...
