...employees may also be called on to testify against their own, notably executive vice president Michael Andreas, 47, longtime heir apparent to his father, ADM chairman and CEO Dwayne Andreas, 78. Prosecutors are continuing their investigation of both the younger Andreas and Terrance Wilson, 58, who heads the ADM corn-processing division. Neither was granted immunity--meaning that both could face indictment. ADM said last week that Andreas was taking a leave of absence and that Wilson had decided to retire...
...something that we often forget: Good conversation takes cultivating. It is not enough to meet at a dining hall at 6 p.m., fresh from section or work, and hope to launch into a deep, meaningful or even relaxed conversation.

Amid the rich corn, wheat and soybean fields, Toyota is building a vast industrial empire in the center of America's heartland, with I-64 as the hub for some $8 billion of North American investments. By 2000 Toyota hopes the public will view the company as the fourth member of the Big Three automotive...
However long that takes, Toyota has already created a corn-fed hybrid of East and West along the I-64 corridor. About half of Toyota's top 100 executives in the U.S. are American. And there are about 50 Japanese in the 6,500 person work force at the Georgetown plant. At the Tachibana sushi bar in nearby Lexington, Kentucky, manager Takashi Iwata serves raw fish to Japanese diners as well as to locals raised on burgers and barbecued ribs.
