Welcome back to my blog, lieblings! Yeah, yeah, I know I said I was gonna do this twice a week so mea culpa – I promise to get my shizzle together ASAP. Anyways, today’s rant will continue my theme of dispelling yet another bullshit Hollywood myth – i.e., that you have to commit a contract murder to get badged (formally inducted) into the Honored Society of the Italian-American Mafia. And in all fairness, many of my favorite … [Read more...]
Jeff Morris On Why He Chose To Write LEGION RISING
To be completely honest, it still does not seem real to me to have written a book about my life and experiences. After all, it’s my life. It’s what I’ve lived and to me, it’s normal with nothing special about it. Why in the world would someone be interested in reading something about me? Yet here we are. The seed was first planted during my first deployment by a writer who was in Iraq for a project. It was early 2005 and I took him out on … [Read more...]

Author Glen Meek Talks About an Unlikely Intersection of Nuclear Testing and Organized Crime (Sort Of)
For thirty years, I covered crime and punishment as a television reporter in Las Vegas. Naturally, organized crime cases were part of that coverage. But, along with crime and courts, I also had another, very unusual beat: atomic testing. In the mid 1980s, before the US and Russia signed a treaty banning underground nuclear detonations (above ground testing had ended in 1963) there were usually several atom bomb tests each year in … [Read more...]

Glen Meek
For more than thirty years I covered the sometimes mean -- but always interesting -- streets of Las Vegas as a TV investigative reporter. From the devastating explosion of the PEPCON rocket fuel factory in 1988, to the mass murder at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in October, 2017, I have been a professional eyewitness to Las Vegas history. During that time, I was honored with ten Emmy awards from the National Academy of Television Arts … [Read more...]
Boxing Champion Vinnie Curto
Although I am proud to tell people I won the WBF World Super Cruiserweight Champion in 1986, my story was somewhat of a sad one at one time. It’s also a story of a person who went through hell, several times, and came out on the other side to make something of himself. I was shot, stabbed, poisoned, and had my Cadillac blown up when I was supposed to be in it, but nothing and no one could kill me, or stop me from reaching my … [Read more...]
