Riley
For the record, this is an interview with Sig Rogich with the President George H. W. Bush Oral History Project, as the insiders are calling it. One of the first things that we do usually—everyone has been briefed already about the confidentiality arrangements for the interview—but we want to go ahead and get a record of the names and voices so that the transcriber can pick them up. So for the record, I am Russell Riley with the Miller Center at the University of Virginia.

The Nevada Independent
Democrats’ path to a supermajority in the Senate could run through a swingy southwestern Las Vegas Senate district, where a wealthy education advocate with deep family ties to Republican politicians is challenging an incumbent seeking her second full term.
The path to victory for Sen. Dallas Harris (D-Las Vegas) is complicated by the fact that the Culinary Union — a longtime force for getting Democrats elected — withdrew its endorsement of her and other sitting legislators because of their support for a bill ending a statutory mandate that hotel rooms be cleaned each day, and instead endorsed her Republican opponent, Lori Rogich.
The swing district is located in a fast-growing area of the southwestern Las Vegas Valley, bounded by the Beltway, Interstate 15 and Durango Drive. Registered Democratic voters (30 percent) outnumber registered Republican voters (25 percent), but nonpartisans make up a plurality of the district with nearly 38 percent of voters.
Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer for the Culinary Workers Union Local , said the union endorsed Rogich “because she is a better candidate.” He also cited Harris’ votes in against the un
When the tiny soccer-playing nation of Iceland beat the ginormous soccer-playing nation of England in the European championships, I thought it literally would be cool to chat with somebody from Iceland about this monumental occurrence.
I didn’t know how to reach Haffi Hardarson.
Hardarson is a professional bowler from Iceland whom I met at South Point a couple of years ago. He said he learned to bowl on three lanes under a swimming pool in a place called Akranes. So it can be assumed that bowling in Iceland isn’t as big as, say, harpooning a whale.
But Sig Rogich was kind enough to return an email message seeking input.
The local businessman and political kingmaker — and recent inductee into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame — was born in Vestmannaeyjar, a town and archipelago off the southern coast of Iceland commonly referred to as Westman Islands, for obvious reasons.
Rogich lived in Iceland when was a young boy, before his family settled in Henderson. He would serve as U.S. ambassador to Iceland under President George H.W. Bush, before the first President Bush sent for him to help out with his re-election effort.
