Sorry, you must be a subscriber to get rest of story; but maybe some of this board's members from Nashville can provide additional information.
I have, however, reviewed Professor Moore's vitae, and he is a brilliant scholar. That said, he is also in the hip pocket of the anti-rail organization The Reason Foundation. Sloan
