...many jobs in the solar-power sector than anywhere else in Germany," beams Salomon, who's a member of the Greens. Architect Rolf Disch is one of the businessmen who has benefited from that environmental focus. He ducks under a low-hanging beam as he steps out onto the roof of the solar-powered office and apartment building in the Vauban neighborhood, which he designed and which opened last week. Below him stretch row after row of brightly painted buildings with solar-paneled roofs. He points out that each unit actually produces more energy than it uses, so residents...
...safely into the helicopter when it returned. The man's pig, however, Milam left behind. "No way I'm taking a pig. The pig will be O.K.," he says.

Friends thought he was nuts, but in 2003, after five years of training, Miura?then 70?became the oldest person ever to reach the roof of the world. The remarkably buff septuagenarian is now planning another Everest ascent in 2008 at age 75. "When you're getting older, you think about the things you can't do and all the reasons," he explains.
