Last Thursday night, exactly one year since his triumphant ascent to the Speaker's chair, Gingrich stood before his troops at a private session in the Cannon caucus room. He had told them then that there would come a dark hour, when the fight would grow hard, the polls pitiless, the prospects bleak.

Brown (4-2-1, 2-0-1) continued its triumphant week with a 7-1 thrashing of Boston College (1-5, 0-3), the last-place team in the ECAC.
