Status Updates From The Power Broker: Robert Mo...

the end is near!!! Hoping to finish by June

(Pt. 4) For years, even decades, Paul would try reaching Robert, only to then hear from a secretary that “he was not in” to talk. After a certain point, the didn’t speak for 20 years. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

(Pt. 3) On top of that, Paul is completely ostracized by his entire family. Even his cousin won’t talk to him anymore. At the end of his life, he is left almost penniless, even sleeping in a Salvation Army lodging house at one point. With that, Paul began feeling an obsessive hatred for Robert.

(Pt. 2) What happened to Paul was this: he was robbed of his mother’s inheritance because Robert rewrote the will and had their mother sign it on her death bed. Not only that, but Robert (it’s assumed) prevented Paul from ever getting jobs in which his engineering expertise would’ve been beneficial.

(Pt. 1) We now focus on Robert’s brother, Paul. A genius and idealist in his own right, he has many of the same qualities that Robert has. Unfortunately, his story is a tragic tale and Paul was to hold only resentment and bitterness towards his younger brother at the end of his life…

Robert Moses is such a tragic, Machiavellian figure so far. Blown away by the scope and prose. So good!
