MSNBC's Chris Matthews, author of "Tip and the Gipper: When Politics Worked"

A Washington insider, Matthews spent six
years as a top aide and chief-of-staff to Former Speaker of the House Tip
O’Neill. During that time he witnessed everything including the evolving

and President Ronald Reagan.  Matthews says the pair, “couldn’t be more

Reagan and O’Neill that endured philosophical differences and bipartisan
politics.
