...like Grant are learning what women have known for years. "The secret of these so-called women's jobs is that they do in fact involve a lot of skill and training," says Heidi Hartmann, a labor economist and president of the Institute for Women's Policy Research. Men often require more training and vetting for household positions, but the Pavillion Agency has fielded a "flood" of resumes from out-of-work men believing they can easily nab a post as, say, a personal chef...
...main task is to petition our friends in Europe and the world so that Croatia is not sanctioned." For the tribunal, however, the matter is simple. "Croatian authorities have a responsibility to arrest Bobetko without delay and transfer him to the Hague," says spokesman Jim Landale. Prosecution spokeswoman Florence Hartmann says "there is nothing to negotiate," as "no government can challenge or reject or reverse an indictment that's been confirmed." Something deeper worries Richard Dicker, director of Human Rights Watch's international justice program. "Some in Zagreb," he fears, "draw comfort from the Bush Administration's objections...
Leading the charge are the two German companies: E.ON, based in Dusseldorf, and RWE, with headquarters in Essen. "Our goal is to achieve a leading position in the U.S.," says E.ON CEO Ulrich Hartmann, 64, a jazz buff who already has transformed his company. He took over Veba--the firm his father once ran as a state enterprise--in 1993, just before Germany deregulated its electricity markets.

(Compare that with 79% for Calpine, the power-generating firm based in San Jose, Calif.) Hartmann's advance team is already on the ground in New York City. Its members arrived to handle the purchase of LG&E, which E.ON took over through the acquisition of LG&E's British parent, PowerGen. Shareholders approved the deal last month, and the company is waiting only...
...Morgan Chase utility analyst Pierre Stiennon says to look for a deal with Cinergy, based in Cincinnati, Ohio; Allegheny Energy in Hagerstown, Md.; or PPL of Allentown, Pa. All three companies produce and sell power on the wholesale market and also serve a large base of regulated retail customers. Hartmann is known as a careful shopper. When he explored a U.S. acquisition as CEO of Veba, the man on the other side of the table was Enron's Jeff Skilling. Hartmann walked away after deciding that the two companies' cultures and business models wouldn't mesh well together...
