In 1965, when David Hare, the British playwright, was eighteen, he visited New York City for the first time. He prowled the Village, hoping to bump into Bob Dylan, and spent time hanging out in Washington Square. “It was exactly as it is now—it was always people with guitars, people playing chess, mothers with baby carriages,” he said recently.
While the second act concerns the war over Washington Square—a battle that Moses lost—the first act relates a campaign he won decades earlier. He had vanquished a coalition of wealthy landowners on Long Island to construct parkways upon which city dwellers might drive for a day out at Jones Beach State Park, which, with its Art Deco bathhouses and landscaped dunes, was also Moses’s creation.
oh. This sounds great! And with the talented David Hare!
I know I'm a British nerd but this sounds really interesting

Political cowardice drove lawmakers to come after our transgender kids. GOP legislators should be ashamed, Robert Gehrke writesA bad process gave us a bad law that fails to solve a problem that doesn't exist, Robert Gehrke writes. House Bill 11 will end up costing taxpayers millions in legal fees and harming transgender kids who are already struggling. And it was all done becomes some cowards were afraid they wouldn't get re-elected. Again, Republicans are pro-life until we are born. Then we are on our own needing protection from Republicans. This guy wants to write about integrity? I was closely involved in a situation he covered and he showed anything but integrity in his reporting. When was the last time Gehrke showed any integrity? He is nothing more than a divider and race baiter these days. Not sure where he made a wrong turn.
