I have always thought, based on nothing but pure conjecture, that European white skin, blond/red hair, and blue eyes were more attributable to the Neanderthals than to an African origin.

Sounds like Jimmy Durante to me. I am not sure what Walter Duranty looked liked but he spelled his name different.
