Clinton Said to Have Older Half Brother

President Clinton has a previously unknown half brother born several years before their father met Clinton’s mother, the Washington Post reported.

The exhaustive story in the paper’s Sunday “Style” section is accompanied by photos of Clinton, his purported half brother Henry Leon Ritzenthaler, 55, and their father, Bill Blythe, who died in an automobile accident several weeks before Clinton was born.

Ritzenthaler took his adoptive father’s name, just as Clinton took his adoptive father’s name.

Also printed is a photostat of Ritzenthaler’s birth certificate showing that he was born in Sherman, Tex., as Henry Leon Blythe, the son of W. J. Blythe and Adele Gash.
