Few American politicians loom as large in the public memory as Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the senator from New York who was a pathfinder in President John F. Kennedy’s New Frontier, a commander in President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society and an enabler of President Richard M. Nixon’s greater and lesser moments.
Despite his public stature and his inclination toward the written word, Moynihan never produced a memoir or an autobiography.
The new book "Daniel Patrick Moynihan: A Portrait in Letters of an American Visionary," edited by Steven Weisman, is a carefully selected collection of his letters — available to the public for the first time — that provides a vivid record of the senator’s life in his own words.
Weisman is editorial director and public policy fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, D.C. Before joining PIEE, he was chief international economics correspondent for The New York Times. He was also a member of the Times’s editorial board.
Weisman will sign copies of the book following the program.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
