"Chicago's success in the financial markets has gotten short shrift. That's too bad, because it's a great story. . . Leo Melamed has been at the heart of the tale for more than 40 years . . " (The Wall Street Journal)
"After reading the book For Crying Out Loud: From Open Outcry to the Electronic Screen, one feels like he or she has received a personal tour of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange from the founder of financial futures himself, Leo Melamed. . . [the book] leaves readers with a feeling that they better understand the dynamics and values of the exchange and its members. And who better to have at your side on this historical journey than the man who stood at the helm, guiding the exchange every step of the way?" (SFO magazine)
