Whatever the level of federal bil lions, the U.S. is going to need the kind of overview offered by urbanologists like Moynihan if its cities are to survive and thrive. Last spring, Rhode Island's Providence College awarded Moynihan an honorary degree that was accompanied by a particularly apt citation: "You have dared to throw light on some of the most frightening problems facing urban dwellers, not to elicit common agreement with your solutions so much as to force us to look where we would rather not."
