(NYT) — ALMOST everyone who visited J. Bruce Llewellyn three years ago in the Mary Manning Walsh nursing home in Manhattan heard the same refrain: Get me out of here.
Mr. Llewellyn, a Harlem-born entrepreneur worth about $170 million, had run companies, served presidents, sat on bank boards and had powerful friends like Bill Cosbyand Gen. Colin L. Powell. But at 80 years old and in failing health, he found himself chasing visitors in his wheelchair as they headed for the 10th-floor elevator, his once powerful 6-foot-5 frame struggling to keep up.
