Salon this morning questions the treatment by the press of historians who were clearly wrong about the Jefferson "affair" (sorry), how the same scholarly "experts" being called upon now to interpret the results of the recent DNA testing are the ones who insisted for years that the affair couldn't happen, where the historians relegated to the fringe for their views that Sally Hemings did have children by Thomas Jefferson are still being ignored. Once again it has proven better to have a good agent than be right, especially in academia.
