...everything he has," recalls Earl Sneed, his former law school dean. "Consequently, he would be very sympathetic to those who are disadvantaged." A Phi Beta Kappa and No. 1 graduate of his University of Oklahoma law class, Harris has pretty well known where he wanted to go since, at age five, he led a horse around in circles to power a hay baler. He wanted to get an education and rise to the top. He married his Comanche Indian sweet heart, LaDonna Crawford, great-granddaughter of a medicine man named Hoahwah...
