Chris Matthews
Author and host of MSNBC's Hardball
Chris Matthews, author and host of MSNBC's Hardball spoke Monday, March 21, 2016 at the O'Connor Institute Distinguished Speakers Series luncheon on the topic of his bestselling book, TIP AND THE GIPPER: When Politics Worked. Mr. Matthews, former Chief of Staff for former House Speaker
Tip O'Neill, fascinated the audience with remarkable "behind the scenes" stories from the Reagan era.
Humorous and poignant anecdotes were followed by an insightful Q&A session with O'Connor Institute Board Chairman Peter M. Hayes, who ironically was a Senior Advisor to House Minority Leader John J. Rhodes during the same period, and who worked with Mr. Matthews on Capitol Hill. Captivated guests at the Camelback Golf Club were happy to receive a copy of the book to take home.
