This online book explains SO MUCH about so many things I'd been wondering for years and years about the changes I witnessed in NYC during the 1960s and then, when I returned after having been away for 15 years, at the end of 1985. About how the Happenings happened in Central Park's Sheep Meadow in the 1960s, about who closed traffic in Central Park over the weekends and in summer, who renovated Central Park in the 1960s, who created those cool pocket parks around NYC, like the Paley one on East 53rd Street, who made Shakespeare in the park possible, who made the the Schaefer Beef Festival rock concerts at the Wollman ice skating rink during summers or those massive classic music concerts in the Great Meadow in the park, or built the Delacourt Theater in the park, who was responsible for creating the restaurant at the Bethesda fountain Terrace, who started the whole deal of blockbuster shows at NYC museums, like the Tutankhamun show.
It was Thomas Hoving, both NYC's Central Park Commissioner and also the head of the Metropolitan Museum.

Thomas Hoving, Wendy Burden and the End of Elite Privelige?
Thomas Hoving, who ran the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York from 1966-1977, was among the first museum directors to recognize the potential of this new (museum) world order. Hoving reimagined the museum as an experiential hub–a place for blockbuster shows and postcard shops as well as for connoisseurship, conservation and scholarship–setting a template for museums and their directors that’s become the norm in the past 40-odd years.
