...battle could be the last hurrah for the spit-and-polish Araskog, 65, a lanky 6-ft. 2-in. Minnesotan of Swedish stock who still towers over the company he has led since 1979. During that time, he has sought to transform himself from a poster boy for overpaid executives to a self-styled champion of shareholder rights. Yet Araskog, who served the National Security Agency as an interrogator of Soviet defectors in the '50s, can't seem to help treating everyone from Hilton CEO Stephen Bollenbach to ITT shareholders as if they might really be agents of a subversive...

Wal-Mart on the city's vast, booming commercial strip, built 18 months ago on what was once a lovely cornfield. His office is lined with computers that every day spit out new evidence about a windfall he doesn't quite believe in. "I don't think it's hit this area yet," he says of the economic boom, one day after his sales of patio furniture jumped 100% over the same day last year. The next morning, Charles and Shirley Warner...
