Whoa, whoa, whoa. PLEASE don't let us rehash the Jefferson/Hemings
claims and counter-claims. For the record, the original headline
accusing Thomas Jefferson of siring Sally Hemings's children was NOT
supported by evidence in the _Nature_ article itself and was retracted
by the journal. I recommend that anyone wishing to weigh in on the
subject read the whole article first.

All anyone can say from the DNA evidence is that SOME Jefferson male,
possibly Thomas or his nephew, sired ONE of Sally's children. Beyond
that, all is speculation.

Now let's return the list to other historical topics.
