Javier,

There's a very interesting chapter on the 1964-65 New York World's  
Fair in Robert Caro's book on Robert Moses, The Power Broker.  Moses  
was the all-powerful Commissioner of Parks (and many other titles)  
who built the facilities of the World Fair and ran the whole thing.    
It was a financial disastor and led to Moses' downfall, and to the  
New York Mets.
