Stanley M. Isaacs (1882–1962) was a
Fiorello LaGuardia, whom he helped to get elected.[2]
Stanley Isaacs is also remembered for his role in exposing the shady financial arrangements between park commissioner Robert Moses and the restaurant Tavern in the Park's owner Arnold Schleifer during the "Battle for Central Park", in April 1956. This exposure would lead to further questioning of Moses, and eventually to the fall of the system of political patronage he led in the city.[3]
