- oldmancoyote 10y agoI really don't have anything to add. I just feel that I have to say "awesome".
- jurassic 10y agoAgreed. I had heard of Caro's work, but after this interview I have moved him to the top of my to be read list.

- cwilkes 10y agoThanks for posting. I loved Caro starting with The Power Broker and then on to the LBJ series. He gave a talk out here in Seattle a long time ago and tailored it to the audience with stories about Scoop Jackson, a long time senator. People in the audience loved it. I just wish there were younger people there -- the books do look daunting and the subject matter appears to be dry but they are fascinating.
