The author was a top aide to Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill, who waged a principled war of political ideals with President Reagan from 1980 to 1986. Together, the two men forged compromises that shaped America's future and became one of history's most celebrated political pairings: the epitome of how ideological opposites can get things done. The two leaders fought over the major issues of the day including welfare, taxes, covert military operations, and Social Security, but maintained respect for each other's positions and worked to advance the country rather than obstruct progress. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1981-1989. 600 10 $a Reagan, Ronald. 600 10 $a O'Neill, Tip. 941 $a 6 945 $a lpt 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515012825.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909031704.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722041034.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20160705013640.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926023838.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20131029010225.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8AADA408405F11E3A7E079F2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
