The Boxer: Harry Reid

This video, produced by a Nevada news station, gives a lot of interesting details about Harry's early career--his childhood, early dealings with the Mafia in Las Vegas, his attempted assassination, and his local achievements. Quite a story.

RIP Mr. Reid.

I always liked him. But this video really cemented my respect for him. I'm glad that the Nevada news team took the time to do such an in depth look at his life.
