GINGRICH FIRES HOUSE HISTORIAN PICK FOR NAZI REMARK

House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., Monday night fired his choice as House historian after learning of her 1986 criticism of a junior high school Holocaust curriculum that she said did not adequately reflect what she called ``the Nazi point of view.''

Gingrich's spokesman Tony Blankley said that the speaker determined that Christina Jeffrey was not the right person for the job immediately, ``as soon as he found out'' about her views on the Holocaust curriculum.
