When you began writing this project, did you go into it with a positive, neutral, or negative perception of Nixon? I have read a few Nixon bio's in the past with passive-aggressive tones. Can't wait to pick up the book!
John A. Farrell Neutral. How did I do?

Finally got to read, Tip O'Neill and Democratic Century, thank you. Speaker was a great man. If I had not been pushed to get "2018 America's Wave Election," into print to allow Academic review for 2017 Spring semester, that work deserved to be dedicated to a truly Great Leader. What would Tip think of today's politics?
John A. Farrell Tip saw his share of demagogues in Massachusetts politics. He would have shaken his head, blasted Trump when called for, and worked to protect working folks.
