Which particular "political rumours" might those be? and might you suppose in any case that the possibility that he would not be Humphrys' choice be down to frustration at his (Humphrys') vain struggles to master such works as Ne songe plus à fuir, praha, von hinter dem Schmerz, folio or tegmen?...
