*This interview was conducted several months prior to the government bond-buying scandal that rocked Salomon. Following this development, I asked Lipschutz if he still wished to maintain the terms honesty and integrity in his description of Salomon, as the words now had an ironic ring in light of the latest revelations. Lipschutz, however, felt strongly about maintaining his original description, as he believed it reflected his true feelings. Queried about how he reconciled this image of integrity with the apparent ethical Japses in the bidding procedures at several government bond auctions, he replied, "I believe it was more a matter of ego on the part of a single individual, which ran counter to the qualities embodied by Gutfreund and the firm."
