In a world of superficial ephemeral nonsense, Robert Caro’s existence, persistence and intelligence are hopeful indicators that all is not lost. His books, including this one, and the author are cherished treasures.

It felt like I had read it all before, ironically enough from Caro’s own web site. Look under articles and you have about 2/3 of this book. On the bright side, at least it can’t have delayed Book 5 too much ... but the same reason he issued this makes me worried about Book 5.
