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.
