A Robert Caro exhibit

At the New-York Historical Society: “Turn Every Page”: Inside the Robert A. Caro Archive. I like the note-to-self on the inside cover of one of Caro’s notebooks: “SHUT UP.” Because an interviewer’s silence will often, though not always, prompt a subject to say more.

Thanks to the reader whose comment on a previous post prompted me to make this post. I could’ve sworn I’d said something about this exhibit before, but no.
