Herbert,

I think it quite appropriate to show what is happening in that big wide 
audience of people who could be "fooled" by those who study history and 
conclude Jefferson probably fathered those kids,  The big wide audience is 
not putting Jefferson on the pedestal you are insisting he belongs on. 
Remember that Jefferson also said that the mix of white blood in with the 
African resulted in a bring superior to the African. (Don't have the exact 
quote handy!).

What the story is lacking in absolute "proof" is overrun with likelihoods, 
probabilities, possibilities, and it could have beens.

Anne
