The most interesting thing about this controversy is the
degree of heat it still generates. Now, as an outsider, I
wonder why.
Is it a belief that so pure a soul as Jefferson would have
remained entirely chaste in the forty-odd years of life left to
him after the death of his wife? Is it a denial of the possibility
that Jefferson failed to acknowledge biological children? Or is
this simply the old Southern attitude, that so high a character
would not have contaminated himself by having sexual inter-
course with a woman who was in part African?
