...these questions. What may be most interesting about our part of the 1960s is not how we changed the world, but how the world changed us. Historians will settle the accounts, but we may not have to wait until then. Perhaps in another 20 years, by our first reunion in the new millennium, we already will know those creations of the generation of the 1960s by which the future will remember us all.

If joining the investment world was an after-thought for Putnam, it has definitely worked out well for him. Under his leadership the Putnam Family of Funds has grown into a vast array of different trusts, totalling more than $20 billion...
