"The competitor is our friend; the customer is our enemy" was a favorite saying around ADM, according to Whitacre.

Consider that if the Chicago Bears (who actually began in Decatur, Illinois) move to Gary, Indiana, as they're threatening to, the N.F.L. will have two more teams playing in the state of Indiana than it has in the decidedly major cities of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
