A Times reporter took Robert Caro, author of definitive Robert Moses biography The Power Broker, to see the new musical about Robert Moses, which makes its official debut this Saturday. And Caro liked it! Especially the song about Robert Moses's dedication of a bench in Flushing Meadows: "Someday let us sit on this bench/And reflect on the gratitude of a man./And when someone asks,/"Who built this road, this bridge, this park?/Say: A giant, a genius./Moses." Jane Jacobs' verses haven't been written yet. [NYT]
