James Santel interviews the LBJ biographer — and before that the biographer of Robert Moses — about his research and writing habits, how he learned about the nature of political power, and why his Johnson biography ended up being five volumes: "I wanted to do Johnson’s life in more than one volume because there were things that had been cut out of The Power Broker that I regretted having to cut. I cut 350,000 words out of that book. I still miss some of those chapters."
