...enacting the promised market reforms. The latest troubles come as talk is growing that the Agnelli family is set to walk away from the car business altogether.

Paolo Soleri's ecotopian settlement, Arcosanti, began to take shape in the Arizona desert. But it wasn't until the 1990s that green architecture gained a foothold in mainstream building. That was partly the result of a growing realization that "sustainable" buildings have lower long-term heating and cooling costs. States began offering...
Tourist boards are seizing on these new links with glee, planning big promotional campaigns. Italy's Le Marche region around Ancona, which is pushing the area as "Italy's best-kept secret," has put big ads in British newspapers and launched two English-language websites. Regional promotion-office director Paolo Galli proudly says, "We are on 200 London doubledecker buses." With a coastline of breathtaking seascapes and jewel-like towns the area has much to promote...
