...shaped like an inverted pyramid, that has helped to transform a once decaying downtown section. Champion International's offices in the 21-story Landmark Tower overlook buildings forming a complex that includes a sunken plaza used for tennis in the summer, skating in the winter. Continental Oil, Xerox, Texasgulf and General Signal are in High Ridge Park, which, with six modern buildings set on 40 acres of lawns and woodlands, is an archetypal corporate "campus...

If more shares than that are tendered, C.D.C. may buy them too. After the bid, the price of Texasgulf shares rose from...

Anthony Hampson, the former head of a large Canadian mutual-fund management company, says only that C.D.C. will seek an "appropriate degree" of representation on Texasgulf's board. Fighting back, Texasgulf filed suit in Houston to block the tender offer; a federal judge issued an order restraining the offer until Aug. 6, when a hearing is set on the company's motion for an injunction...
