Thanks for the suggestion. Duly noted and the local university library has it, so I'm golden. I think I'll need a bit of break from Mr. Moses first, however.
In fact, this is of particular interest to me as I was growing up in the NYC burbs when the event described took place and I remember the basic issues (and Moses's crumbling reputation), although the details would have been way over my head and interest. I find I don't always agree with Jacobs either, however, although I'm far from an urban planner, so my mind could change.
