Ellensburg Daily Record - Nov 28, 1994
Jill Lawrence (AP). The Rise of the Backbencher. p. 5/2-3
> "It shocked the town because he was out Horatio Alger. We were so
> proud," said Floyd Hoskins, a retired West Georgia history professor
> who was Gingrich's close friend and office-mate. The general reaction,
> he said, was "You mean I helped buy the furniture for their house and
> now he's throwing her out? A lot of people said, 'Boom, we don't like
> Newt anymore.'"
