The definitive word on Robert Moses' gubernatorial campaign may be an unconsciously revealing remark that Moses made years later to his friendly biographer, Cleveland Rodgers: "I made the only kind of campaign I knew how to make." (p425)
(A bad one)

...would be left unfinished--unsightly scars, offending residents of the neighborhoods in which they were located. And if the newspapers got wind of such an example of government inefficiency... The argument never failed. (p392)

I have one of the 95 million shares of Celtic FC stock, and just cast my vote to sack the Board. Kinda dizzying to know I wield such power.

The hardcover edition of “The Power Broker” by Robert Caro. It is unreasonably large.
I don’t often buy dead tree books, much less doorstoppers like this, but it was a really good read and I wanted a version that Amazon couldn’t fuck with someday. #PowerBroker

Had a lovely round 2 chat about the #PowerBroker with my dad (he read chapters 1 to 5 and we had listened to the first podcast, featuring an interview with Caro)

I hope I have made myself clear. The rabble-rouser narratives on Chuck Schumer are completely wrong. Chuck is playing the role of a #PowerBroker and saving people from fascist schemes. Now get out there and SUPPORT your leadership. The fascists want you to give up on your leadership and factionalize

One of the biggest surprises of going through the #PowerBroker with my dad is being amazed at how thorough Robert Caro is in his research
Imagine someone wants to write a book about you so they contact everyone who went to every summer camp with one of your parents.
That's what Caro does.
