	Dwayne Andreas
		The 77-year-old Andreas rose from modest circumstances to become chairman of the Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, which is based in Decatur, Illinois, and is the largest U.S. processor of farm commodities such as wheat, corn and soybeans.
		While Andreas has been building A.D.M. into the self-proclaimed "Supermarket to the World," -- a phrase known to millions of Americans who watch A.D.M.-sponsored news and public affairs on both PBS and the commercial networks -- he has shown an extraordinary knack for cultivating powerful politicans.
		Between 1981 and 1994, Senator Dole and his political foundations collected $178,000 in contributions from Andreas, members of Andreas' family and A.D.M. executives, according to Common Cause, a nonpartisan watchdog group in Washington.

		Dwayne Andreas stepped down as chairman in 1999 after a 28-year tenure in which he was credited with building Decatur, Ill.-based ADM into the world's largest processor of soybeans, corn, wheat, and cocoa.
		Dwayne Andreas' tenure was marred by a price-fixing investigation that cost ADM $100 million in fines, and led to the convictions of ADM executives Michael Andreas and Terrance Wilson for their roles in a scheme to fix the price of the animal feed additive lysine.
		Retiring from the board along with Andreas are former Agriculture Secretary John Block, former ambassador to Germany Richard Burt, former Gold Kist Inc. chief executive Gaylord Coan, former RJR Nabisco chief executive H. Ross Johnson, and former ambassador to the Soviet Union Robert Strauss.

		Dwayne said, “You aren’t really planning to retire, are you?” I said, “I meant it when I said it, and I’m going to do it.” So at age 50 I retired, and built a home in Mankato, but stayed on with ADM’s board of directors until 1999.
		Andreas: I want you to know that I am happier with you now than as I was mad at you a few years ago.” Though Mankato had flooded, because of our dike she had no water in her home.
		ANDREAS: This is what I think happened: Initially, the FBI had asked us to hire one of their own agents to work as a mole on the trading floor of the Chicago Board of Trade.

		We should cooperate.” That sounds like the Dwayne Andreas philosophy on markets, as he put it to his son recorded on FBI tapes during the price fixing investigation of ADM.

		Andreas, son of politically connected ADM Chairman Emeritus Dwayne Andreas, was convicted along with Terrance Wilson, former head of ADM's corn division, and imprisoned ADM biochemist Mark Whitacre.

		Andreas, the defense says, ``was not reacting out of greed but was in fact acting in economic self defense'' and that his actions were ``at worst an errant attempt to abide by the law in one of the law's grayest areas.''

		Dwayne had missed a key element of his ethanol tax legislation - bought and paid for with your money.
		But Andreas, because he is the largest corn buyer in the world, turned to his trump card and strong-armed American Corngrowers -- a powerful Washington lobby -- to sue then Secretary of the Treasury James Baker in a feeble attempt to declare our cargo dutiable.

	Michael Fumento: Some Dare Call Them ... Robber Barons.
		Even while ADM and Andreas were bankrolling Percy in his Senate re-election bid, the Andreases gave his opponent, Democrat Paul Simon, $5,000 with an additional $1,000 kicked in by the ADM PAC to boot.
		If, like Andreas and many other large contributors, you are in a position to combine personal, corporate, and family contributions, you can make more of an impact, but it's still not easy to buy a vote that runs flatly contrary to all of the congressman's interests other than your check.
		Perhaps Andreas and the many like him don't even deserve the title of "robber baron," unless it is the synthetic type, made of a bizarre combination of soybean by-products and vegetable oils, expensive and not very interesting, but high in polyunsaturated fats.

		During the 1992 election, Andreas gave more than $1.4 million in "soft money" (which goes to party organizations rather than individual candidates, and is exempt from limits) and $345,650 more in contributions to congressional and senatorial candidates, using multiple donors in his family and his companies.
		Andreas contributes to Dole's foundation for helping the disabled and frequently vacations with him, sometimes providing his own airplane for the trips.
		In 1982, Andreas helped expedite Dole's purchase of a condominium in the Sea View Hotel in Bal Harbour, Fla. Sea View is managed by an Andreas-owned company, and Andreas also has a condo in the building.

		Andreas denounced the U.S. hesitation to approve more credits in October 1991 by challenging the authority of Congress to even have a say in his executive deal making: "The fact that the President had to go for an act of Congress is just a fl mark on America's reputation as a trading nation.
		Andreas, of course, must come out stridently in favor of export subsidies and control by politicians of exports or else the harm of political control of domestic markets would become too stark.
