(10:57 PM) auric_goldfinger: Who is Morton Galane?
------------------------------------
"Who is Morton Galane?", you asked.
This is a post I did back in December of 2007:
------------------------------------
"The Maheu-Moran Connection"
What do Senator Reid and Robert Maheu have in common?
Well, for one, they were both good friends with Mort Galane...
"I think I learned to speak softly by watching Mort Galane work," said Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., a longtime friend and a fellow attorney. "What made him such a good lawyer was that he would take on an issue and not get off of it until it was over."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/aug/23/512255928.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
I could also ask..
What do Robert Maheu and John Moran, Jr., father of John T. Moran, III, have in common(besides that his son works for Urban Casavant and so did Maheu)...
Again, Mort Galane, who John Moran, Jr. worked for as an attorney...
"Attorney and friend John Moran Jr. said Galane's No. 1 concern was taking care of his clients...
'He was meticulous in his briefing and presentation. He was very dynamic and a gentleman who had a tremendous grasp on what the law is all about.'"
In 1982 Galane was recommended by then-Sen. Paul Laxalt as a federal judge in Las Vegas to replace Roger Foley, who was going on senior status. President Ronald Reagan nominated Galane for the job on July 19, 1982...but kindly turned him down...
"On March 10, 1983, Galane withdrew his name from nomination in a letter to Reagan, saying he "prized the honor" but said his "main efforts should be directed toward advocacy in court litigation."
Mort Galane also worked as an attorney for Robert Maheu...
Galane is featured in the 1989 John Jenkins book "The Litigators" about attorneys who have won huge judgments...
"A $2.8 million verdict in 1977 for Maheu, who sued Hughes for calling him a "dishonest (expletive) (who) stole me blind." An appeals court overturned the judgment, but a $1.5 million settlement later was reached out of court."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/aug/23/512255928.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
"..Galane had heart problems dating back to his first heart attack in September 1972 in Los Angles, where he was representing Las Vegan Robert Maheu in his libel suit against his former employer, reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/aug/23/512255928.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
I could also ask...
What do Mort Galane and Bob Miller have in common, besides both having been appointed by Ronald Reagan?..
Bob Miller was "appointed by President Ronald Reagan to serve on the nine-member President's Task Force on Victims of Crime, 1982."
Bob Miller and Mort Galane were both friends with Robert Maheu..
"Enjoying the social occasion was Robert Maheu, seen with Steve Sutherland of Konami Gaming and Steve and Elaine Wynn, as well as longtime friends Jeff Silver, Tom Foley, former Gov. Bob Millerand Larry Ruvo."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/oct/10/512468955.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
There is someone else who Bob Miller and Robert Maheu have in common and that is...John Moran. (If you will remember, John T. Moran, III's grandfather was a Clark County Sheriff who was began working at the Clark County Sheriff's Dept. in 1973. Miller began work there in 1970. Yet, Moran work at the Las Vegas Police Department since 1947..which merged with the Clark County Sheriff's dept. 1973.)...
"Miller took a position with the Clark County Sheriff's Department in the summer of 1970 and became the first legal advisor for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in 1973."
www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/bio/nevada_miller_bio.html
"John Moran was born on September 22, 1922, in San Fernando, California. He attended the University of Arizona on an athletic scholarship and became one of the nation's top javelin throwers. A Marine Corp veteran with a battle-field commission, he moved to Las Vegas in 1947, joining the Las Vegas Police Department. He rose through the ranks to Chief of Police in 1972. Upon consolidation with the Clark County Sheriff's Office in July of 1973, he became the undersheriff of the newly formed Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Moran was elected Sheriff in 1982 and served for three terms before retiring. He is responsible for bringing 9-1-1 to Las Vegas and for molding the police department into the 112th agency in the country to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). He concluded his distinguished 43-year career in local law enforcement in December of 1994. He passed away on June 22, 1998, at the age of 75."
www.geocities.com/SoHo/Museum/9837/ccsheriffs.html
John T. Moran, III's father also worked for the Sheriff's department...
"LAS VEGAS -- John T. Moran Jr., a high-profile Las Vegas lawyer and former sheriff's deputy who has already served on two state boards, today was named to the Nevada Gaming Commission that oversees the state's casino industry."
"Moran(John Moran, Jr.) has been an attorney in Southern Nevada for more than 25 years and is founding partner of the law firm of Moran & Associates. His late father, John Moran, was Clark County Sheriff from 1982 until his retirement in 1994. His son John T. Moran III was appointed this month as pro temp judge in the Henderson municipal court."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2004/jun/25/517079355.html?John%20Moran
A bit more on Bob Miller...
"Governor Bob Miller has set a new standard for Nevada's tourism development efforts. His personal style and firsthand knowledge of Nevada's tourism industry has taken that state in a very promising direction. Working with elected officials, gaming and tourism industry executives, aviation experts and the media, Governor Miller built a broad base of support both within the state and within global corporate and government communities."
"On the national level, Governor Miller participated as a member - and ultimately the chairman - of the National Governors' Associations. Because of his skill and high regard in Washington, D. C., Governor Miller was called upon several times to serve as a negotiator between Congress, the nation's governors and the White House. He was also invited to join in the American Assembly, a group dedicated to forward-thinking dialogue on critical issues affecting U.S. policy and interests. He was the only governor invited to attend its three-day session; most attendees were current or former White House advisers, ambassadors, journalists or heads of major universities."
Governor Miller remains a recognized figure, with tremendous experience and personal relationships in diverse corridors of power. His personal enthusiasm and uncanny ability to make friends in even a brief meeting are the continued hallmark of his success."

If you will notice in the following quote, another "long-time friend" of Robert Maheu is Jeff Silver...
"Enjoying the social occasion was Robert Maheu, seen with Steve Sutherland of Konami Gaming and Steve and Elaine Wynn, as well as longtime friends Jeff Silver, Tom Foley, former Gov. Bob Miller and Larry Ruvo."

If you will remember, Kevin Ryan is the Chairman and CEO of Crystalix(Crystalix is part-owned by Urban Casavant). Ryan is also the President of McCary & Rood...
www.zoominfo.com/Search/PersonDetail.aspx?PersonID=42821289
Kevin T. Ryan was once listed on Global Intelligence Network's website as one of its founders..along with Robert Maheu and Lawrence Casey...
Global Intelligence Network

From Global Intelligence Network's website...
"Larry Casey has immersed himself in Chinese culture and lifestyle for the past 20 years to gain a greater understanding of a country that plays such a pivotal role in the world economy.
As a principal in Las Vegas-based Global Intelligence Network, he bases his work on the premise that knowledge is power.
'Facts aren't necessarily the answer,' said Casey, a former senior official in both the Reagan and Bush administrations.
'It's being able to find the information, analyze it and find the right way to present it so that it means something, because you can make a lot of mistakes by just looking at only one piece of information.' "
www.globalintelligence.net/newsgloballyconnected.htm
Immediately prior to his service with Congressman Shaw, Mr.(Lawrence)Casey was an experienced and widely traveled international businessman and public affairs/political strategist. He founded a firm, McCary & Rood Inc, in which he was one of three partners, and had affiliated offices in Las Vegas, Nevada, New York, Washington D.C. Osaka, Japan and Shanghai, China. The firm specialized in initiating joint ventures, business enterprises and strategic alliances in the Asian market, particularly Japan and China. He has also been represented and advised leaders of certain foreign nations on international policy matters.
Mr. Casey also founded the Global Intelligence Network a company based in Las Vegas, Nevada, a confidential private international business intelligence research service including corporate due diligence matters, business development, and creating global strategic alliances.

Oh..one other thing... Lawrence Casey's great grandmother was a Moran..
Lawrence Casey is also the nephew of William J. Casey who is the grandson of George L. Casey...
"George L. Casey was the son of Lawrence Casey (born 1820) and Ann Morrin (Moran) born in 1826 both in Philipstown (Daingean) and married there in 1845."
www.offalyhistory.com/content/reading_resources/famous_people/casey_william.htm
"Mr. (Lawrence)Casey was appointed by both Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush to senior level federal posts in the Departments of Commerce and Agriculture."

Did I mention Ann L. Casey works for Gordon & Silver...but in a correspondence the other day, she denies any relation, to her knowledge, to Lawrence Casey.
www.gordonsilver.com/bio_anncasey.htm
Again, what do Senator Reid and Robert Maheu have in common?
For one, Herb Tobman was a long-time friend of Senator Reid's and he was also the father-in-law of John Moran, Jr...
"Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he was a youngster when he first met Tobman at the old downtown Squires Park ballfield where Tobman was a shortstop/catcher on the nationally respected Horseshoe Club fast-pitch softball team. The team featured Reid's brother, the late Dale Reid.
"Herb has been my friend just about all of my life," Reid said. "His personality was so strong. He was like a ballplayer who always kept up the chatter during the game. He was always talking it up for Las Vegas."
Also, Tobman's son-in-law, prominent Las Vegas attorney John Moran Jr.,said: 'Men like Herb Tobman don't come along every day, and that's sad.'"
Tobman was the president of the Stardust Hotel in the 70's and owner of Western Cab Co. since 1968. He also served on the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority board in the 1980s and on the Clark County Planning Commission. In 1971, he worked at the Aladdin Hotel as general manager."
Maheu said he started looking for resorts in financial trouble with the federal government and soon bought for Hughes the Sands, Castaways, Frontier, Silver Slipper and the Landmark.
He also made a bid on the Stardust, but the federal government, fearing the creation of a monopoly, stopped Hughes from making that purchase.
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2004/dec/23/518031643.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
Herb Tobman, along with Al Sachs, were former owners of the now closed Stardust Hotel.
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2006/nov/22/566628542.html?Herb%20Tobman
Excerpts from Hughes' memos to Maheu from 1966 to 1970:
"On getting a lower price from Mobster Moe Dalitz, when trying to buy his Stardust Hotel: "You may be surprised how many times a man like Moe will make concessions for a friend. I mean, for example, that I believe Moe would go further as a gesture of personal friendship to you than he ever would as the result of negotiating pressure brought by me. You see, if I try to bargain Moe into a deal, his pride asserts itself and he says 'Never!' Whereas as a favor and gesture of personal friendship to you ... Moe might easily do for you what he would not do for me. Anyhow, please try. Howard."
www.time.com/time/magazine/printout/0,8816,914062,00.html
He died March 16, 2006 and "is survived by his wife of 58 years, Jean Tobman; three daughters, Janie Moore, Marilyn Moran(mother to John T. Moran, III) and Helen Martin; nine grandchildren; and a great-grandson, all of Las Vegas."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/aug/23/512255928.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
Early, I provided the following quote...
"Enjoying the social occasion was Robert Maheu, seen with Steve Sutherland of Konami Gaming and Steve and Elaine Wynn, as well as longtime friends Jeff Silver, Tom Foley, former Gov. Bob Miller and Larry Ruvo."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/oct/10/512468955.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
Highlighted above is the name, Tom Foley who is brother to Joe Foley who was the attorney for Howard Hughes...
"A longtime attorney, (Joe)Foley served as Howard Hughes' gaming lawyer and, after the reclusive billionaire's death, he represented the estate in efforts that debunked the so-called "Mormon Will" in a case that was recounted in the film 'Melvin and Howard.'
Foley was a member of one of Southern Nevada's most influential families. He was the son of Roger T. Foley, who was appointed a federal judge by President Franklin Roosevelt; the brother of late federal Judge Roger D. Foley, late District Court Judge Tom Foley, former District Attorney George Foley and former state Sen. John Foley; and the father of former state Sen. Helen Foley."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/aug/23/512255928.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
"In the 1970s Foley represented Hughes in his mining and gaming interests, which included the Frontier, Sands and Desert Inn. Foley represented Hughes' employees seeking key gaming licenses before state gaming regulators.
Foley later represented Hughes' estate against a suspicious will that surfaced after Hughes' death, leaving part of the vast fortune to Melvin Dummar, a Gabbs resident and service station operator who claimed he once found Hughes wandering in the desert and gave him a lift back to his Las Vegas hotel. Foley prevailed in that case."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2002/dec/17/514398621.html?Tom%20Foley
Besides being a friend of Robert Maheu and having been Howard Hughes attorney before and even after Hughes death, Tom Foley..you could say...had ties to Mort Galane, through his partnership with brother, Roger Foley...
"Born March 15, 1926, in the Bronx, New York, Galane graduated from George Washington University and came to Las Vegas in 1952 to try an anti-trust case before U.S. District Judge Roger Foley, the father of the man he almost replaced as judge."
"Foley graduated from UNR and, in 1950, got his law degree from the University of San Francisco Law School. He passed the bar that year and went into practice in Las Vegas with brother Tom.
At one time all five brothers worked for the Foley Bros. law firm before political ambitions sent them on their individual paths. Joe Foley, a Democrat, was regional coordinator for the presidential campaigns of John Kennedy in 1960 and Robert Kennedy in 1968."

Part 2 of same thread:
"Raised in Las Vegas, Larry Ruvo is a senior distribution executive with a unique perspective on the complexities and demands of the hospitality and gaming business in Nevada. After working at both the Sahara Hotel and Caesars Palace Hotel during his early years in the industry, Ruvo opened the Frontier Hotel as a night manager, becoming the youngest manager at the time to oversee all hotel operations. His focus on the wine business began in 1970 when Ruvo partnered with Steve Wynn to open a Las Vegas wine and spirits distribution company. In 1976, he joined forces with Harvey Chaplin, who bought his company, forming Southern Wine and Spirits of Nevada."

Wynn Foundation grant funds further study of retinal cell transplantation at Utah's Moran Eye Center
$100,000 will aid in clinical trials of treatments for retinitis pigmentosa (RP)
"July 14, 2004--The University of Utah's John A. Moran Eye Center has received a $100,000 grant from the Stephen A. and Elaine Wynn Charitable Foundation to fund continued research into retinal cell transplantation. The research is expected to help set the stage for human clinical trials of treatments for a blinding eye disease known as Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)."
"Since the opening of the John A. Moran Eye Center in 1993, the Stephen A. and Elaine Wynn Charitable Foundation has provided the center with nearly $500,000 in funding through grants. The Wynn family has also played an important role in fundraising for the center and Mr. Wynn sits on the center's Advisory Board."

In 2005, James E. Rogers(Jim)was appointed Chancelor of the University and Community College System of Nevada.
"The multimillionaire lawyer, banker, media mogul and philanthropist brings the same mentality to everything he does, Woodbury and others said. Rogers wants things done right, done quickly and done his way and -- even in the slow-moving, shared-governance realm of academia -- he has shown the same drive and passion that have made him successful, friends say. "
"I think that Jim Rogers is a lot like Steve Wynn," Woodbury said. "They both have to be building, bending or creating something all the time. And both of course are extremely bright and have that willpower that is part of their personality. It makes them driven to succeed."
"Rogers, 66, was appointed to a three-year term as chancellor of the university system a little more than a week ago."
"Rogers eventually won notable clients, such as Robert Maheu, former personal aide to Howard Hughes, and parlayed that success into his first million by age 35."
"Most of my success has been on the relationships that I've developed," Rogers said. "It's not that I was smart or shrewd or tough, but I had people who had confidence in me."

Some say Mr. Maheu "is gone". However, when one is dealing with as many relationships as just briefly covered here between John T. Moran and Robert A. Maheu...it goes unsaid that those types of relationships just do not fade.
No one has still been able to disprove Mr. Maheu's relationship to Urban Casavant. Phxgold wrote last December which showed a possible relationship(but notice, below, the discrepancey in the date of birth. One is 1917 and one is listed as 1918. Following Phxgold's post below is more that I have found under the 1917 date of birth)....

Note:
From www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKmaheu.htm
Robert Maheu was born in Waterville, Maine, in 1918. After graduating from the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, in 1940, he joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation. During the Second World War he posed as a German sympathizer.
In 1947 Maheu established his own investigative company. Maheu also worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. He was later to admit "The CIA was my first steady client, giving me `cut-out' assignments (those jobs in which the agency could not officially be involved)." This work brought him into contact with Howard Hughes and in the late 1950s worked for him on a freelance basis. This included intimidating would be blackmailers and obtaining information on business rivals.
In 1960 Richard Bissell and Allen W. Dulles decided to work with the Mafia in a plot to assassinate Fidel Castro. Maheu was employed by the CIA to organize the conspiracy. The advantage of employing the Mafia for this work is that it provided CIA with a credible cover story. The Mafia were known to be angry with Castro for closing down their profitable brothels and casinos in Cuba. If the assassins were killed or captured the media would accept that the Mafia were working on their own.
In August 1960, Colonel Sheffield Edwards contacted Maheu. As Maheu explained in 1995: "In the winter of 1959-60, however, the CIA still thought it could pull off the invasion (of Cuba). But it thought the odds might be better if the plan went one step further - the murder of Fidel Castro. All the Company needed was someone to do the dirty work for it. Professional killers. A gangland-style hit."
Maheu offered the contract to Johnny Rosell. He in turn arranged for a meeting on 11th October, 1960, between Maheu and two leading mobsters, Santo Trafficante and Sam Giancana. As Maheu pointed out, "both were among the ten most powerful Mafia members" in America. Maheu told the mobsters that the CIA was willing to pay $150,000 to have Castro killed.
On 12th March, 1961, Maheu arranged for CIA operative, Jim O'Connell, to meet Roselli, Trafficante and Giancana at the Fontainebleau Hotel. During the meeting O'Connell gave poison pills and $10,000 to Rosselli to be used against Fidel Castro.
Maheu began full-time work for Howard Hughes in 1966. He moved to Las Vegas where he ran Hughes's casinos. Maheu explained later what his role was in the operation: "When he came here, he wanted to tie up all the property on the Strip to develop it properly. He didn't want it to be honky-tonk or like Coney Island. Hughes was a catalyst in the city cleaning up its act."
After losing his job with Howard Hughes in 1970 Maheu eastablished a new company in Las Vegas called Robert A. Maheu and Associates. In 1993 Maheu published the book, Next to Hughes.

I am also sure there is more than I was able to uncover in one evening(and I do, actually have more, but it begins to take many other directions, so I will quit for now).
I have debated for some time to share the following..
Not that long ago, I wrote a post which included the quote you can read under my avatar, by Mr. Maheu. In that post I gave a hint...but I guess no one picked up on it.

(10:57 PM) auric_goldfinger: Who is Morton Galane?
------------------------------------
"Who is Morton Galane?", you asked.
This is a post I did back in December of 2007:
------------------------------------
"The Maheu-Moran Connection"
What do Senator Reid and Robert Maheu have in common?
Well, for one, they were both good friends with Mort Galane...
"I think I learned to speak softly by watching Mort Galane work," said Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., a longtime friend and a fellow attorney. "What made him such a good lawyer was that he would take on an issue and not get off of it until it was over."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/aug/23/512255928.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
I could also ask..
What do Robert Maheu and John Moran, Jr., father of John T. Moran, III, have in common(besides that his son works for Urban Casavant and so did Maheu)...
Again, Mort Galane, who John Moran, Jr. worked for as an attorney...
"Attorney and friend John Moran Jr. said Galane's No. 1 concern was taking care of his clients...
'He was meticulous in his briefing and presentation. He was very dynamic and a gentleman who had a tremendous grasp on what the law is all about.'"
In 1982 Galane was recommended by then-Sen. Paul Laxalt as a federal judge in Las Vegas to replace Roger Foley, who was going on senior status. President Ronald Reagan nominated Galane for the job on July 19, 1982...but kindly turned him down...
"On March 10, 1983, Galane withdrew his name from nomination in a letter to Reagan, saying he "prized the honor" but said his "main efforts should be directed toward advocacy in court litigation."
Mort Galane also worked as an attorney for Robert Maheu...
Galane is featured in the 1989 John Jenkins book "The Litigators" about attorneys who have won huge judgments...
"A $2.8 million verdict in 1977 for Maheu, who sued Hughes for calling him a "dishonest (expletive) (who) stole me blind." An appeals court overturned the judgment, but a $1.5 million settlement later was reached out of court."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/aug/23/512255928.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
"..Galane had heart problems dating back to his first heart attack in September 1972 in Los Angles, where he was representing Las Vegan Robert Maheu in his libel suit against his former employer, reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/aug/23/512255928.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
I could also ask...
What do Mort Galane and Bob Miller have in common, besides both having been appointed by Ronald Reagan?..
Bob Miller was "appointed by President Ronald Reagan to serve on the nine-member President's Task Force on Victims of Crime, 1982."
Bob Miller and Mort Galane were both friends with Robert Maheu..
"Enjoying the social occasion was Robert Maheu, seen with Steve Sutherland of Konami Gaming and Steve and Elaine Wynn, as well as longtime friends Jeff Silver, Tom Foley, former Gov. Bob Millerand Larry Ruvo."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/oct/10/512468955.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
There is someone else who Bob Miller and Robert Maheu have in common and that is...John Moran. (If you will remember, John T. Moran, III's grandfather was a Clark County Sheriff who was began working at the Clark County Sheriff's Dept. in 1973. Miller began work there in 1970. Yet, Moran work at the Las Vegas Police Department since 1947..which merged with the Clark County Sheriff's dept. 1973.)...
"Miller took a position with the Clark County Sheriff's Department in the summer of 1970 and became the first legal advisor for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in 1973."
www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/bio/nevada_miller_bio.html
"John Moran was born on September 22, 1922, in San Fernando, California. He attended the University of Arizona on an athletic scholarship and became one of the nation's top javelin throwers. A Marine Corp veteran with a battle-field commission, he moved to Las Vegas in 1947, joining the Las Vegas Police Department. He rose through the ranks to Chief of Police in 1972. Upon consolidation with the Clark County Sheriff's Office in July of 1973, he became the undersheriff of the newly formed Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Moran was elected Sheriff in 1982 and served for three terms before retiring. He is responsible for bringing 9-1-1 to Las Vegas and for molding the police department into the 112th agency in the country to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). He concluded his distinguished 43-year career in local law enforcement in December of 1994. He passed away on June 22, 1998, at the age of 75."
www.geocities.com/SoHo/Museum/9837/ccsheriffs.html
John T. Moran, III's father also worked for the Sheriff's department...
"LAS VEGAS -- John T. Moran Jr., a high-profile Las Vegas lawyer and former sheriff's deputy who has already served on two state boards, today was named to the Nevada Gaming Commission that oversees the state's casino industry."
"Moran(John Moran, Jr.) has been an attorney in Southern Nevada for more than 25 years and is founding partner of the law firm of Moran & Associates. His late father, John Moran, was Clark County Sheriff from 1982 until his retirement in 1994. His son John T. Moran III was appointed this month as pro temp judge in the Henderson municipal court."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2004/jun/25/517079355.html?John%20Moran
A bit more on Bob Miller...
"Governor Bob Miller has set a new standard for Nevada's tourism development efforts. His personal style and firsthand knowledge of Nevada's tourism industry has taken that state in a very promising direction. Working with elected officials, gaming and tourism industry executives, aviation experts and the media, Governor Miller built a broad base of support both within the state and within global corporate and government communities."
"On the national level, Governor Miller participated as a member - and ultimately the chairman - of the National Governors' Associations. Because of his skill and high regard in Washington, D. C., Governor Miller was called upon several times to serve as a negotiator between Congress, the nation's governors and the White House. He was also invited to join in the American Assembly, a group dedicated to forward-thinking dialogue on critical issues affecting U.S. policy and interests. He was the only governor invited to attend its three-day session; most attendees were current or former White House advisers, ambassadors, journalists or heads of major universities."
Governor Miller remains a recognized figure, with tremendous experience and personal relationships in diverse corridors of power. His personal enthusiasm and uncanny ability to make friends in even a brief meeting are the continued hallmark of his success."

If you will notice in the following quote, another "long-time friend" of Robert Maheu is Jeff Silver...
"Enjoying the social occasion was Robert Maheu, seen with Steve Sutherland of Konami Gaming and Steve and Elaine Wynn, as well as longtime friends Jeff Silver, Tom Foley, former Gov. Bob Miller and Larry Ruvo."

From Global Intelligence Network's website...
"Larry Casey has immersed himself in Chinese culture and lifestyle for the past 20 years to gain a greater understanding of a country that plays such a pivotal role in the world economy.
As a principal in Las Vegas-based Global Intelligence Network, he bases his work on the premise that knowledge is power.
'Facts aren't necessarily the answer,' said Casey, a former senior official in both the Reagan and Bush administrations.
'It's being able to find the information, analyze it and find the right way to present it so that it means something, because you can make a lot of mistakes by just looking at only one piece of information.' "
www.globalintelligence.net/newsgloballyconnected.htm
Immediately prior to his service with Congressman Shaw, Mr.(Lawrence)Casey was an experienced and widely traveled international businessman and public affairs/political strategist. He founded a firm, McCary & Rood Inc, in which he was one of three partners, and had affiliated offices in Las Vegas, Nevada, New York, Washington D.C. Osaka, Japan and Shanghai, China. The firm specialized in initiating joint ventures, business enterprises and strategic alliances in the Asian market, particularly Japan and China. He has also been represented and advised leaders of certain foreign nations on international policy matters.

Did I mention Ann L. Casey works for Gordon & Silver...but in a correspondence the other day, she denies any relation, to her knowledge, to Lawrence Casey.
www.gordonsilver.com/bio_anncasey.htm
Again, what do Senator Reid and Robert Maheu have in common?
For one, Herb Tobman was a long-time friend of Senator Reid's and he was also the father-in-law of John Moran, Jr...
"Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he was a youngster when he first met Tobman at the old downtown Squires Park ballfield where Tobman was a shortstop/catcher on the nationally respected Horseshoe Club fast-pitch softball team. The team featured Reid's brother, the late Dale Reid.
"Herb has been my friend just about all of my life," Reid said. "His personality was so strong. He was like a ballplayer who always kept up the chatter during the game. He was always talking it up for Las Vegas."
Also, Tobman's son-in-law, prominent Las Vegas attorney John Moran Jr.,said: 'Men like Herb Tobman don't come along every day, and that's sad.'"
Tobman was the president of the Stardust Hotel in the 70's and owner of Western Cab Co. since 1968. He also served on the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority board in the 1980s and on the Clark County Planning Commission. In 1971, he worked at the Aladdin Hotel as general manager."
Maheu said he started looking for resorts in financial trouble with the federal government and soon bought for Hughes the Sands, Castaways, Frontier, Silver Slipper and the Landmark.
He also made a bid on the Stardust, but the federal government, fearing the creation of a monopoly, stopped Hughes from making that purchase.
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2004/dec/23/518031643.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
Herb Tobman, along with Al Sachs, were former owners of the now closed Stardust Hotel.
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2006/nov/22/566628542.html?Herb%20Tobman
Excerpts from Hughes' memos to Maheu from 1966 to 1970:
"On getting a lower price from Mobster Moe Dalitz, when trying to buy his Stardust Hotel: "You may be surprised how many times a man like Moe will make concessions for a friend. I mean, for example, that I believe Moe would go further as a gesture of personal friendship to you than he ever would as the result of negotiating pressure brought by me. You see, if I try to bargain Moe into a deal, his pride asserts itself and he says 'Never!' Whereas as a favor and gesture of personal friendship to you ... Moe might easily do for you what he would not do for me. Anyhow, please try. Howard."
www.time.com/time/magazine/printout/0,8816,914062,00.html
He died March 16, 2006 and "is survived by his wife of 58 years, Jean Tobman; three daughters, Janie Moore, Marilyn Moran(mother to John T. Moran, III) and Helen Martin; nine grandchildren; and a great-grandson, all of Las Vegas."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/aug/23/512255928.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
Early, I provided the following quote...
"Enjoying the social occasion was Robert Maheu, seen with Steve Sutherland of Konami Gaming and Steve and Elaine Wynn, as well as longtime friends Jeff Silver, Tom Foley, former Gov. Bob Miller and Larry Ruvo."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/oct/10/512468955.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
Highlighted above is the name, Tom Foley who is brother to Joe Foley who was the attorney for Howard Hughes...
"A longtime attorney, (Joe)Foley served as Howard Hughes' gaming lawyer and, after the reclusive billionaire's death, he represented the estate in efforts that debunked the so-called "Mormon Will" in a case that was recounted in the film 'Melvin and Howard.'
Foley was a member of one of Southern Nevada's most influential families. He was the son of Roger T. Foley, who was appointed a federal judge by President Franklin Roosevelt; the brother of late federal Judge Roger D. Foley, late District Court Judge Tom Foley, former District Attorney George Foley and former state Sen. John Foley; and the father of former state Sen. Helen Foley."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2001/aug/23/512255928.html?Robert%20A.%20Maheu
"In the 1970s Foley represented Hughes in his mining and gaming interests, which included the Frontier, Sands and Desert Inn. Foley represented Hughes' employees seeking key gaming licenses before state gaming regulators.
Foley later represented Hughes' estate against a suspicious will that surfaced after Hughes' death, leaving part of the vast fortune to Melvin Dummar, a Gabbs resident and service station operator who claimed he once found Hughes wandering in the desert and gave him a lift back to his Las Vegas hotel. Foley prevailed in that case."
www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2002/dec/17/514398621.html?Tom%20Foley
Besides being a friend of Robert Maheu and having been Howard Hughes attorney before and even after Hughes death, Tom Foley..you could say...had ties to Mort Galane, through his partnership with brother, Roger Foley...
"Born March 15, 1926, in the Bronx, New York, Galane graduated from George Washington University and came to Las Vegas in 1952 to try an anti-trust case before U.S. District Judge Roger Foley, the father of the man he almost replaced as judge."
"Foley graduated from UNR and, in 1950, got his law degree from the University of San Francisco Law School. He passed the bar that year and went into practice in Las Vegas with brother Tom.
At one time all five brothers worked for the Foley Bros. law firm before political ambitions sent them on their individual paths. Joe Foley, a Democrat, was regional coordinator for the presidential campaigns of John Kennedy in 1960 and Robert Kennedy in 1968."

Part 2 of same thread:
"Raised in Las Vegas, Larry Ruvo is a senior distribution executive with a unique perspective on the complexities and demands of the hospitality and gaming business in Nevada. After working at both the Sahara Hotel and Caesars Palace Hotel during his early years in the industry, Ruvo opened the Frontier Hotel as a night manager, becoming the youngest manager at the time to oversee all hotel operations. His focus on the wine business began in 1970 when Ruvo partnered with Steve Wynn to open a Las Vegas wine and spirits distribution company. In 1976, he joined forces with Harvey Chaplin, who bought his company, forming Southern Wine and Spirits of Nevada."

In 2005, James E. Rogers(Jim)was appointed Chancelor of the University and Community College System of Nevada.
"The multimillionaire lawyer, banker, media mogul and philanthropist brings the same mentality to everything he does, Woodbury and others said. Rogers wants things done right, done quickly and done his way and -- even in the slow-moving, shared-governance realm of academia -- he has shown the same drive and passion that have made him successful, friends say. "
"I think that Jim Rogers is a lot like Steve Wynn," Woodbury said. "They both have to be building, bending or creating something all the time. And both of course are extremely bright and have that willpower that is part of their personality. It makes them driven to succeed."
"Rogers, 66, was appointed to a three-year term as chancellor of the university system a little more than a week ago."
"Rogers eventually won notable clients, such as Robert Maheu, former personal aide to Howard Hughes, and parlayed that success into his first million by age 35."
"Most of my success has been on the relationships that I've developed," Rogers said. "It's not that I was smart or shrewd or tough, but I had people who had confidence in me."

Some say Mr. Maheu "is gone". However, when one is dealing with as many relationships as just briefly covered here between John T. Moran and Robert A. Maheu...it goes unsaid that those types of relationships just do not fade.
No one has still been able to disprove Mr. Maheu's relationship to Urban Casavant. Phxgold wrote last December which showed a possible relationship(but notice, below, the discrepancey in the date of birth. One is 1917 and one is listed as 1918. Following Phxgold's post below is more that I have found under the 1917 date of birth)....

Note:
From www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKmaheu.htm
Robert Maheu was born in Waterville, Maine, in 1918. After graduating from the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, in 1940, he joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation. During the Second World War he posed as a German sympathizer.
In 1947 Maheu established his own investigative company. Maheu also worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. He was later to admit "The CIA was my first steady client, giving me `cut-out' assignments (those jobs in which the agency could not officially be involved)." This work brought him into contact with Howard Hughes and in the late 1950s worked for him on a freelance basis. This included intimidating would be blackmailers and obtaining information on business rivals.
In 1960 Richard Bissell and Allen W. Dulles decided to work with the Mafia in a plot to assassinate Fidel Castro. Maheu was employed by the CIA to organize the conspiracy. The advantage of employing the Mafia for this work is that it provided CIA with a credible cover story. The Mafia were known to be angry with Castro for closing down their profitable brothels and casinos in Cuba. If the assassins were killed or captured the media would accept that the Mafia were working on their own.
In August 1960, Colonel Sheffield Edwards contacted Maheu. As Maheu explained in 1995: "In the winter of 1959-60, however, the CIA still thought it could pull off the invasion (of Cuba). But it thought the odds might be better if the plan went one step further - the murder of Fidel Castro. All the Company needed was someone to do the dirty work for it. Professional killers. A gangland-style hit."
Maheu offered the contract to Johnny Rosell. He in turn arranged for a meeting on 11th October, 1960, between Maheu and two leading mobsters, Santo Trafficante and Sam Giancana. As Maheu pointed out, "both were among the ten most powerful Mafia members" in America. Maheu told the mobsters that the CIA was willing to pay $150,000 to have Castro killed.
On 12th March, 1961, Maheu arranged for CIA operative, Jim O'Connell, to meet Roselli, Trafficante and Giancana at the Fontainebleau Hotel. During the meeting O'Connell gave poison pills and $10,000 to Rosselli to be used against Fidel Castro.
Maheu began full-time work for Howard Hughes in 1966. He moved to Las Vegas where he ran Hughes's casinos. Maheu explained later what his role was in the operation: "When he came here, he wanted to tie up all the property on the Strip to develop it properly. He didn't want it to be honky-tonk or like Coney Island. Hughes was a catalyst in the city cleaning up its act."
After losing his job with Howard Hughes in 1970 Maheu eastablished a new company in Las Vegas called Robert A. Maheu and Associates. In 1993 Maheu published the book, Next to Hughes.

I am also sure there is more than I was able to uncover in one evening(and I do, actually have more, but it begins to take many other directions, so I will quit for now).
I have debated for some time to share the following..
Not that long ago, I wrote a post which included the quote you can read under my avatar, by Mr. Maheu. In that post I gave a hint...but I guess no one picked up on it.
