much like the cars inching through traffic on robert moses's ever-expanding (yet ever-congested) highways, i too am crawling along at a glacial pace

Many, many months later, finally finished “Leading Out the Regiment.”

Out: in-depth explanations of the financial intricacies of honest graft.

In: Robert Moses uses tollpayer dollars to build a martini fountain.

frankly i was still reeling from the extraordinary back-to-back of One Year/The Candidate/Order Number 129 when Robert Caro hit me with Two Brothers. a chapter straight out of cartoon villainry fr !!

my year of big books continues. love learning about bureaucracy and local politics and how Moses navigates and manipulates both.
