Robert Moses and the Question of Means Versus Ends
Robert Carroll interviewed Robert Moses multiple times for his book and brought up the name of a person associated with a bribe. This led to their last interview as Robert Moses saw where the questioning could have led. Robert Moses knew about the book and compared it to Robert Carroll's books about LBJ. The question of using dishonest methods for supposedly good ends is raised, and Robert Moses would have defended it while criticizing your naivety. The possibility that dishonest means may not produce good outcomes is also posed.
