...called VoiceStream Wireless for $46.5 billion. Telekom's management was excoriated for paying an exorbitant price for the smallest operator in a crowded market, dwarfed by giants Cingular, Verizon and Sprint. But the bet paid off. Today, the U.S. arm of T-Mobile, the German mother ship's wireless unit, is still ranked fourth, but it is the fastest-growing part of the $75 billion company and well on its way to becoming Telekom's largest revenue source. In the first half of 2006, T-Mobile USA accounted for 22% of Telekom's sales and nearly half its global mobile...
...they could blow up my house. I thought of telling the sergeant that the address on the license was for an old apartment, which, last I heard, was being turned into luxury condominiums I couldn't afford. What did I care if some rich Washington developer lost a condo unit under construction? But it was the wrong time for jokes. The day before, as we had goofed around in the Green Zone, 11 service members died violent deaths in Iraq. Six of the lost soldiers were killed in the Baghdad area. It was one of the highest daily body counts...

Did the writers and directors, and the cast, believe in the small world they reinvented each week? I think they believed in it as a TV reality. What?s more, they sold that reality to the audience with the entrepreneurial conviction Jim must have used...
...cohousing development, called Glacier Circle, opened in Davis, Calif., last December. ElderSpirit's residents started moving in during the spring and summer. The common house in each cohousing project is tailored to the resident group's interests and needs. For instance, the one at Silver Sage Village, a 16-unit development that broke ground in Boulder, Colo., in August, will have a gourmet kitchen, dining room, library, crafts and multimedia rooms, plus two bedrooms for caregivers or visiting family members...
...camaraderie in the kitchen when we're chopping vegetables--and the children," says Russell. "My son isn't married, and I don't have grandchildren. Two more babies were born this year, and they get passed around the common house." But Russell has already put money down on a unit in Silver Sage because she feels she will have more in common with its residents than with her current neighbors, many of whom are young families "wondering where to find the next baby sitter and getting dinner on the table." At Silver Sage, by contrast, there are monthly meetings...
