Some of the most prominent names in architecture have turned green, at least for selected projects. The three-sided Commerzbank headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, is a major work by a renowned British architect, Sir Norman Foster. At 53 stories, it was until recently the tallest building in Europe. It is also one of the leafiest. All around its triangular interior atrium are gardens in the sky, set at different elevations, so that no worker is more than a few floors away from a sizable patch of greenery.

Soon, Germans may discover what travelers from Britain now take for granted: for the consumer, no-frills fares...

"VoiceStream should be sold," says Robert Vinall, an analyst at DZ Bank in Frankfurt. He puts VoiceStream losses at ?2 billion a year. Because valuations for all telecoms companies are sharply down, VoiceStream may prove hard to sell. One other possibility reportedly being considered is to merge it with AT&T Wireless, which like Voice-Stream uses GSM mobile technology. That would create the second-largest...
