To this day I still don't really understand bonds, but nearly 40 years later I can still remember the calm and reassuring words of Jim Lebenthal as he presented the concept of municipal bonds to investors.

Jim Lebenthal probably did as much to secure the financial health of a battered New York City and other cities around the country, than anyone else over the past few generations.
