My chief interest, actually, is in Eleanor Marx & her biographer, both
of whom are too little known. Eleanor certainly thought that Helmut was
her brother -- and paternity is _always_ based on gossip only unless
someone checks the DNA. One of the most ancient of proverbs, "It is a
wise child who knows his/[her]  father. And I agree that who is the son
of whom is not of very great interest.
