Moses is credited with building Lincoln Center, the United Nations, and Shea Stadium, among other projects. A fascinating study of personality, politics, and ...
The third volume of Caro's biography of Lyndon Johnson tells of his role as leader of the United Sates Senate. Caro explicates Johnson's deft use of power, which included cajoling, deal-making, and even intimidation.

For this is the period when Lyndon Johnson and his wife Ladybird made ...
