...creation myth anda rallying point of the queer fight for civilrights. We must, however, never forget theimportance of the history that broke the groundfor the organization of the 1970s. Warning ofdangers to gay civil rights--in the last twentyyears influential Republicans like PatrickBuchanan, Jesse Helms and Newt Gingrich havespoken against homosexuality--the authors manageto convey the importance of the organizationalstructure established through the efforts of thepre-Stonewall activists and which became empoweredby the riots...
WASHINGTON: The anti-Newt rumbling on the Hill is getting louder. Two days after the election in which they ended up down by five seats, House Republicans have found a scapegoat in Speaker Gingrich - not to mention most of their leadership. While the situation is extremely fluid, one proposed slate of candidates is slowly gaining currency: Bob Livingston for Speaker, replacing Newt; Steve Largent for majority leader, ousting Dick Armey; and Jennifer Dunn for conference chair, knocking John Boehner aside.

Between Wednesday morning and January, the GOP rank-and-file members -- at least those that aren't packing their bags -- are going to be looking around for an explanation...
...described how House Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton, engaged in an ongoing vendetta, have been aching to set traps for each other to stumble into [NATION, Oct. 12]. I believe Clinton has inadvertently set a beauty. The impeachment process will proceed, and the Republicans, blinded by their vitriol against Clinton, will gallop full tilt into an election in which the majority of the electorate are disgusted with their witch hunt. From my perspective, north of the border, I'm betting the Democrats will score a big win in the November midterm elections--a form of self-impeachment...
