Enemy Number One --Dickeson

Glenn Buck, president of "Nebraska Farmer," asked me to leave my law partnership in 1964 and take over as CEO.

"I don't know anything about running a printing and publishing company," I told him. "Don't worry," he replied, "I'll give you a tip. Just get a list of the checks written every day and the receivables collected, and make sure there's more coming in than going out. Don't pay attention to those cost accounting numbers. Watch the cash flow."
