New York and the Texas Hill Country, 1888 to 2012. Robert Moses held as many as twelve appointive offices at once and was elected to nothing. Lyndon Johnson arrived in Washington as a congressman's secretary and learned the building before he learned the politics. Half a century later a former Newsday reporter sat down to explain how either of them had actually done it, and found that the question could not be answered in a year, or in nine hundred pages, or without moving to the county where the story started. What follows is an account of political power as an operating problem — files, appointments, timetables, who holds the pen — and of the documentary method built to catch it, measured against the oldest lives in the canon. Covers Robert Moses, Lyndon Johnson, Robert Caro, Little Congress, Congress of the United States, and Newsday.
