...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 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.

Some stories can be told only in words, but this one must also be seen to be understood. The gallery of color photographs, accompanied by Contributor Kurt Andersen's description, catches the essence of the architects' accomplishments. Then there is the Technology section's look at a new generation...
...Pritzker Prize goes to a pair of apostles of the International Style, lately profoundly out of fashion. The U. S.' s Gordon Bunshaft, 79, designed humane, impeccable office towers, notably the Lever House in Manhattan. Brazil' s Oscar Niemeyer, 80, was the singular creator of the major public buildings of Brasilia. Both say they would do it all the same way again...
