"Approached by a reporter who offered his hand in greeting, Christo hesitated before slowly reciprocating with a gloved hand, palm down, in the manner of royalty. Asked how he calculated the total cost of the project, Christo's eyes narrowed and he stepped back, waving his hand dismissively.
"How do you calculate 26 years of meetings, negotiations, planning, design?" he said.
Well ... how do you?

The reporter slinked away, empty-handed, feeling much like an apprentice of nothing."
