twitterBarbara Greenspun remembers 1955
Friday, Aug. 11, 2000 | 9:19 a.m.
Sun Publisher Barbara Greenspun recalls former Sun reporter Ed Reid:
Through the years the Sun has been fortunate to have had many excellent reporters and writers. Ed Reid, whose story of being banished from the Nevada Assembly is related in the Where I Stand column of March 1955, was one of the best.
He game to the Sun after having been a Pulitzer Prize winner on the reporting team of the Boston Globe. He will best be remembered in Las Vegas for his investigative reporting in the Thunderbird-Meyer Lansky case that toppled a sheriff, a county commissioner and aided in the election of a governor and changed the face of gambling legislation in Nevada forever. But that's another story.
The column reprinted on this page leaves no question about how Hank stood on the issues of freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
