Is there something that will destroy the moss without killing grass? Or do I need to nuke the area with RoundUp and replant after the radiation dissipates.....?

If moss is growing, the PH of the soil is probably wrong for grass. Lime, for example, will lower the PH, weaken the moss and promote the grass. You should consult your agricultrual service or a lawncare professional for the best approach. I have also noted that weed killers seem to weaken the moss as well.
The moss that I have is welcomed because it keeps my back yard green under the oak trees. It seems oaks not only make lots of shade, but they cause the soil PH to be acedic to the point that grass pretty much won't grow under an oak...
