'''Daniel Patrick Moynihan''' (1927–2003) was a four-term [[Democratic]] Senator (1977-2001) from [[New York]], known best for his scholarly criticism of the [[breakdown of the family unit]] in poor neighborhoods. He drew upon his personal experience of growing up poor and graduating from [[Harlem High School]]. His work was cited more often by conservatives than by members of his own political party, and [[welfare reform]] was an accomplishment of the [[Republican Congress]] after it took control in 1994.
