Editor's Note:
The story of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is one of drama and vigor, shaped by major historical events and by characters charged with a spirit of survival.

In 1987 a turf war erupted between conservative Wall Street interests and Chicago's freewheeling futures exchanges. The Justice Department accused the Merc's traders of winking at widespread fraud, and the FBI infiltrated the Merc and the CBOT. But three years later, President Bush visited the exchan
