"On Dec. 18, 1888, Robert Moses, the American public servant who supervised the construction of many New York landmarks, including the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and Shea Stadium , was born. Following his death on July 29, 1981, his obituary appeared in The Times. 'He was a major theoretical influence on the shape of the American city, because the works he created in New York proved a model for the nation at large.'"
