No need to call me names pedro..It is my OPINION..and this is a board to share different OPINIONS..I suggest you do a little DD on Maheu..maybe .00001% of the DD you have on Urban will show you what kind of man you claim was clueless at the hearing..
My DD reveals Maheu was many things..but uninformed isn't one of them..
On his deathbed, Robert Maheu reminisced with his longtime friend Gordie Margulis about several moments in his life, but perhaps none as poignant as what happened on April 16, 1961, the night before the doomed invasion of Cuba.
He didn’t mention it by name — the Bay of Pigs — but he said he went home that night and told his wife, Eve, to go to bed and then he put on some classical music,” Margulis said.
“Bob sat in his chair all that night and through the next day and did not move or say a word. He was despondent because he knew the United States was not going to back the invasion he helped put together. He knew those men were going to die and he couldn’t do anything about it.”
Margulis said his friend of 40-plus years was an honorable man who put love of family and friends and patriotism above all else.
“He was a giant, this guy — a giant with a heart,” Margulis said
Remembering Robert Maheu
Former Gov. and Sen. Paul Laxalt:
“I don’t know of anybody who has contributed more to Nevada than Bob Maheu. He was one of the most gracious men I’ve known. He reminded me of Ron Reagan.”
Former Gov. and Sen. Richard Bryan:
“There was a kind of commanding presence about Bob Maheu. He was very charming, elegant and very sophisticated. There was never any doubt that when you were talking to Bob Maheu, you were talking to a man with a commanding presence, substance and style. He carried himself with a sense of authority, but not arrogance.”
Former Gov. Bob List:
“He was a big part of our history in this state in the last 50 years. He was a central figure in the development of Las Vegas (and) charming, a great raconteur who had a great amount of history in his head. In some ways he was as mysterious as Mr. Hughes himself. He loved his role and played it well.”
