Skull
& Bones: The Secret Society
That Unites John Kerry and President Bush
Democracy
Now - Thursday, January 22nd, 2004
A little-known fact
unites Democratic frontrunner John Kerry and President Bush: they are both
members of Yale's secret society Skull and Bones. We speak with the author
of "Secrets of the Tomb: Skull and Bones, the Ivy League, and the Hidden
Paths of Power" that reveals details about the secret society and its
members. [includes transcript]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The New Hampshire primary is just a few days away and Howard Dean's status
as the frontrunner has almost totally dissipated. The latest Boston Herald
poll now shows that John Kerry holds a 10 point lead - a major surge for
the Massachusetts Senator. Still reeling from his victory in Iowa, Kerry
is starting to act like the frontrunner, shifting his focus from comparing
himself to the other Democrats to putting his record up against President
George W. Bush, saying he is the only candidate who can beat Bush and who
represents a real difference from the current occupant of the White House.
But there is a fact about Kerry's past that brings him closer to Bush than
any of the other candidates. Both Bush and Kerry are members of a secretive
society dating back to their respective days at Yale University - Skull
and Bones. This fact has not been widely reported but when Kerry's campaign
spokesperson was asked about it, she said, "John Kerry has absolutely
nothing to say on that subject. Sorry."
Alexandra Robbins, is the New York Times bestselling author of Secrets of
the Tomb: Skull and Bones, the Ivy League, and the Hidden Paths of Power
who was formerly on the Washington, DC staff of The New Yorker magazine.
She is a 1998 graduate of Yale and was the first reporter to publish George
W Bush's transcript from Yale when he was a student there.
