Paul Ryan measures tension in private meetings with House Speaker John Boehner by when the Republican leader reaches for a cigarette.

“If it’s a good meeting, he might go without one,” Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman, writes in his new book. “If things are tense or frustrating, he’ll start about halfway through.”

“On this night,” a meeting just before the partial government shutdown last October, “he was already smoking when we got there.”

The fact is just one detail from Ryan’s book, “The Way Forward: Renewing the American Idea.” The 260-page tome is part memoir, part political treatise. It’s available starting today, near the midpoint between the 2012 election, when he was the Republican vice presidential nominee, and the 2016 election, in which he’s considering a run to succeed President Barack Obama.
