There's a great podcast about this: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/662/transcript https://www.thisamericanlife.org/662/transcript To me the most interesting part was about how Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan were pretty close friends: "Then one day, I picked up the paper and read where he had made a statement about me that was pretty harsh.

And, oh, now, I read in the paper that you said-- And he interrupted me and said, well, buddy, that's just politics. He said, after 6 o'clock, we're buddies. We're friends. I did take it that every once in a while, when we had a meeting, I would visibly set my watch at above 6 o'clock."
