Moses takes on Rockefeller, loses state positions. Heads World's Fair. And grossly mismanages budget.

Moses consolidates his power and fully embraces the dark power of his Authority. The battle over the Battery Park Tunnel/Bridge starts.

1930's. Moses amasses powers and starts tearing up neighborhoods to build highway. Powered by a vicious streak that drives him to humiliate others.

Moses appointed to new Secretary of State position. This is 1927 or so?
Starts cutting deals with tycoons on Long Island and bullying small farmers.
