	<description><![CDATA[While I agree one shouldn't study yesterday's culture by today's standards, I think by any standard, this guy comes off like an arrogant sob.  Any time your community/neighborhood is threatened with annihilation, you will strenuously object.  There's this great video of an interview he gave to a local NYC tv station on youtube where his contempt for neigborhoods (and certain populations) is clearly evident.  Meglomaniacs have always been and will continue to be a part of our human family, but give them too much power and an inherantly anti-human philosophy such as modernism, and human habitats will suffer.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[What a great idea, to use a novelistic approach to write about Robert Moses. This allows a nuanced understanding and interpretation of his thinking during the years that he reshaped New York. During his heyday in the '30s and '40s he was lionized for knocking down slums and buildings roads â as a Depression-era child I remember this well. But more recently he's been demonized for destroying neighborhoods. Be aware and beware of presentism, of judging yesterday's culture by today's standards. Thanks for a provocative view of Moses.]]></description>
