Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill’s decision to oppose U.S.-Nicaragua policy based on Maryknoll nuns’ advice led Ronald Reagan and his supporters to question O’Neill’s authenticity as a Catholic and his masculinity. Catholics and non-Catholics argued that true Catholics backed U.S. policy because, as they incorrectly asserted, the pope did. While 25 years earlier presidential candidate John F. Kennedy faced questions about his primary loyalty as a Catholic, Reagan and his allies promoted the stereotype that Catholics should fall in line behind the pope. Likewise, the Maryknoll Sisters were bad nuns for failing to obey male Church leaders who supported the contras. The response to the O’Neill-Maryknoll connection revealed how intra-Catholic conflict influenced U.S. policy, challenging scholars’ stress on evangelical Protestants’ influence on Reagan and on inter-religious conflict during the Cold War.

  There were few topics Bernard \"Bo\" Connors O'Neill Jr. couldn't talk about with gusto, whether it was politics, his beloved Notre Dame Fighting Irish football or spinning a yarn for his grandchildren filled with characters with names such as \"Filet Mignon.\"

Beers will be 10 cents to commemorate the first day O'Neill's opened its doors on Dec. 5, 1933. That day also marked the end of Prohibition so the bar will be serving specials from that era. Originally opened as the Plateau Tavern by George O'Neill, the facility is still a family affair, operated by George O'Neill Jr. and his son-in-law Danny Pyle.

  John James O'Neill Jr., 36, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He will be credited for the 120 days he already spent in jail pending resolution of his case. Police found O'Neill covered in blood near Tuscawilla Park, arrested him, and transported him to the Ocala Police Department. In a recorded interview with police, the victim said she left a local Bi-Rite store when O'Neill called out to her asking her for a cigarette.

\"To be able to acquire 400 acres right off the parkway with ease of accessibility both north and south, it's really an unusual project in an unusual location,\" he said. \"It's more or less a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to construct something like this.\" \"It's not a gathering place for the people of Sayreville anymore,\" Mr. O'Brien said, in contrast to the new development, which he called \"a natural evolution for a town like ours.\" \"This will provide a great injection of extra money into our tax base,\" Mr. O'Brien said. \"It will provide employment opportunities, and Bass Pro Shops will provide a great place for husbands to go when their wives go shopping.\"

Governance should be noisy at times. We've come light years since Preston Brooks nearly beat Sen. Charles Sumner to death with a cane in the U.S. Senate chambers in 1856 for intemperate remarks. But with incivility has come disregard for the facts. Progress requires dialogue, meaning both civility and persuasion, that produces compromise. And it requires respect for one another and the truth. \"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts,\" the late U.S. Sen. In his later years, one-time House Speaker Thomas P. \"Tip\" O'Neill Jr. would lament the growing tensions between political parties. In his day, O'Neill would say, Democrats and Republicans would beat each other up during the day, then work out their differences over drinks at night.
