] By his senior year, Bush had found a port of refuge, a ] place where at least some of the outside world could be ] shut out. Skull and Bones was Yale's most elite secret ] society, priding itself on tapping 15 of the college's ] best and brightest in everything from academics to sports ] to music. Bush, by all accounts, was one of the "legacy" ] slots, a recruit whose father had been a Bonesman. ] ] In his Bones class was the head of the Whiffenpoofs, Yale's noted ] choral group; a Rhodes scholar; an Olympic gold medal swimmer; ] the black captain of the soccer team; and a Jordanian and an ] Orthodox Jew who would generate lively discussions about the ] Mideast just months after the Six-Day War between Israel and its ] neighbors. For anyone who's interested in more biographical information on our current president. Note: I am not implying that the "S&B" society is good or bad... Just passing along an interesting link.
