Hi Mephisto,

I think American Dynasty will have to be next on my list. I'm currently reading Alexandra Robbins' "The Secrets of the Tomb" about Yale's Skull & Bones secret society.

One juicy tidbit relates to George Bush's grandfather's "archeology" trip in 1918 to disinter the skull of Geronimo from its grave at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. Apparently the Skull & Bonesmen have been stalling the Apache nation on the return of Geronimo's remains for decades. At one time going so far as to disingenuously include someone else's skull in the trophy case they offered to return.

While somewhat bizarre in necrophilia sense, what I find more disturbing is the sense of entitlement that these privileged men feel toward using theft to acquire their trophies.

Another apparently purloined item is the gravestone of Elihu Yale, founder of the school, from his grave in Wales, UK.
