  1. I’m doing 99 Percent Invisible’s year long read through The Power Broker by Robert A. Caro and it’s fascinating to see the parallels between the 1920’s and today – especially when it comes to courts and appeals.

    I usually don’t highlight in my books but there are passages that really stand out to me:

    On pages 193-194, the author talks about how many appeals Robert Moses had the commission's lawyers file. Moses only needed to keep the case going until the special session was over in the legislature. "Every appeal was denied–but every one used up time."

    Great 2011 interview: thanks for reprinting it!

    If you liked Gottlieb, you shouldn't miss the recent documentary film on him and one of this favorite subjects. "Turn Every Page: The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb" is on Amazon, I think for $6. A bit overlong, but full of interest if you like them, or reading, or writing, or editing.
