Love The Power Broker but was surprised to find no mention Jane Jacobs. Could the answer to the question at 9:50 suggest why that was so? He seems to not particularly entertain the idea that Jacobs played a large part in Moses' downfall.

Robert Caro is brilliant and always fascinating. The interviewer is also thoughtful and interesting, although he really needs to rethink his wardrobe. Most unflattering and unlikely to project the image he'd prefer.
