For 170 years they have met in secret. Their initiates become presidents, senators, judges, cabinet secretaries, and spooks. They are the titans of finance and industry and have now installed a third member as US President George W Bush. This intriguing behind-the-scenes look documents Yale's secretive society, the Order of the Skull and Bones, and its prominent members, numbering among them Tafts, Rockefellers, Pillsburys, and Bushes. Far from being a campus fraternity, the society is more concerned with the success of its members in the post-collegiate world. Included are a verified membership list, rare reprints of original Order materials revealing the interlocking power centres dominated by Bonesmen, and a peek inside the Tomb, their 140-year-old private clubhouse.
