One of the most destructive forces of the 20th century, IMO.

HP doesn't even begin to describe him. I'd say the best phrase would be "major league asshole".

I should read Caro's bio of the man.  I've always wanted to (and have read the LBJ series).

From what I know, Moses was definitely not interested in the same type and style of urban development that I like.

By the way, Robert Caro, what's up with the time between books?  It took you twelve years to write Master of the Senate, a book covering the 12 years LBJ spent in the Senate.  Will it take you over eight years to write the next one, covering his time as VP and President?

Next one's coming out around 2012, IIRC.
