I don't believe Caro had a vendetta against Moses. He printed what his research told him. He does conjecture a little, but most points are backed up with facts.The quotes WillD cited from the Power Broker directly contradicts your assertion that no one foresaw what buses would become. And as WillD stated, they sre prima facea evidence based on interview and testimony. And as for another book being written, it just has been, designed to clear Moses' "bad reputation" from the Power Broker. But I haven't heard much about it because I don't think it refutes anything said in that book. Although I haven't read it, I think what it tries to do is just emphasize Moses's great accomplishments without any of the negatives. But I think if you read the Power Broker carefully, you can still see Moses' accomplishments. Caro doesn't deny them. He just puts them in perspective by showing you the how and why not just the end results like I believe this latest book does. It certainly doesn't seem to be having the impact that the Power Broker had. |
