The silly beautiful hope I feel on Opening Day is so irrational, on multiple levels, and yet to feel hope at all for any reason truly feels like a drink of clean, cool water after 6 weeks in the desert.

My first take was gonna be "oh good now even more people can know what a shit Robert Moses was," but reading the description of what they've done with the endnotes, this is going to be a genuinely useful research tool, *and* a far more accessible read.
