He popped up in a lot of places.
And so it gave you the opportunity to write a history of a lot of different, of what was going on in that era.
And that was, I enjoyed reading that book.
That was one of the few books I've read twice.
I also liked, totally different, I liked reading The Power Broker about Robert Moses.
Yes.
And I'll tell you, the interesting thing is, the reason why I reread that, I read that book once when I was starting, and there's no reason why they should know him, but it was a guy...
You know, basically built New York.
And, well, the power broker, because he asserted power that on paper he shouldn't have had, but by dint of his personality and different offices he held and clever things, he really was a power broker to the point of dominating even the elected officials who were nominally his boss.
And there were aspects of... He did great things.
You know, he built...
you know, from the Long Island Expressway to all sorts of things, you know, but he also, you know, had personality flaws that today look worse than they did in that era.
Yeah, he was accused of that.
And he was accused of rolling over, you know, building, you know, cementing parks that, you know, that were otherwise green that people today wouldn't do.
But he did it, you know, so think of, you know, think of the founding fathers who, you know, created the template for democracy when none had existed, you know.
And yet they had slavery.
And so how do you evaluate that?
And so people have different, you know, how do you look at that?
Does that disqualify the good things that they did?
Or, you know, it gets very confusing and hard to fathom.
