Which chapter of Hardball by Chris Matthews contains this quote?

Question:"I've lived across the street from you for 18 years ... I shoveled your walk in winter. I cut your grass in summer ... I didn't think I had to ask you for your vote. He never forgot her response. 'Tom, I want you to know something: people like to be asked.'"

Answers:
That is a famous quote by the late, great Speaker of the House Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill who was from Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I know because I'm a former journalist who loved the man. It is from one of his books: "Man of the House: The Life and Political Memoirs of Speaker Tip O'Neill" by William Novak, Tip O'Neill, written in 1987. It appears on page 26.

This quote does not appear in the Chris Matthews book, "Hardball: How Politics Is Played Told By One Who Knows The Game." There isn't so much as a reference to O'Neill in this book.

Tip was also used the time-worn lines:

"What goes around, comes around."
and
"All politics is local."
Actually, it happens to be on page 69 of my book.

This assignment blows by the way.
It's in the chapter titled It's Better to Receive than to Give.
