The author acts like Robert Moses had influence in every city and in every national agency. That is not the takeaway I had from the power broker. I think if it were true, one would not hold Robert Moses out to be such a unique individual.

Honestly, I think LBJ would be a better figure to demonstrate someone able to navigate complex bureaucracy to their own ends, but since that doesn’t fit this author’s narrative, it’s probably why he wasn’t chosen
