...family box in the Speaker's gallery, and it was accepted. The unlikely twosome have been communing since Gingrich's opening-day speech to the House, where the Speaker addressed the need for racial equality, ways to combat drug use and help for the District of Columbia--all issues dear to Jesse's heart. The Rev. Jackson then invited Gingrich onto his talk show, Both Sides, and the two have spoken a few times by telephone. Jackson shrugs off his unorthodox seating plan.
