Ralph refutes these charges by pointing to his work with Tsongas before 1975, "when," he says, "it was possible to accomplish something."

He gets to the office by 7 a.m., rarely departs before 9:30 at night, and rides his staff hard, sometimes demanding an answer minutes after he has assigned a complex question.
