Subject: (urth) Newt's main referent

Considering when EXODUS FROM THE LONG SUN was being
written (1994-5), Councillor Newt has a pretty obvious
real-life referent: Newt Gingrich, elected Speaker of
the US House of Representatives after the unexpected
Republican congressional election victories of
November 1994. From what we see of Newt, the
resemblance is pretty profound...
