Coincidentally, George Bush I, George W. Bush, "Skull & Bones" Kerry, Howard
Dean, Joseph Lieberman, Bill Clinton and HIllary Rodham-Clinton are all
graduates of Yale University, as is former Warren Commission member and
former U.S. President Gerald Ford.

Yale University and its alumni have long played an influential role in
relation to the CIA. According to CLOAK AND GOWN: SCHOLARS IN THE SECRET
WAR by Robin Winks, "Rightly or wrongly, a historian could, in assessing the
link between the university and the agency, declare in 1984 that Yale had
influenced the CIA more than any other university did..."

During the years when George Bush I attended Yale and excelled as an Ivy
League athlete, "Skip Waltz, Yale crew coach from 1946 and 1950, working
simultaneously for the university and for the Central Intelligence Agency on
a salary of $10,000 from each, laid his arms on the shoulders of athletic
young men, introducing them to official recruiters who would apply the
appropriate persuasion," according to CLOAK AND GOWN. The same book also
noted that Yale Crew Coach Walz "looked for bright undergraduates in other
sports than crew as well, who were going into business careers after
graduation, so that they might use their business connection as a cover" and
" Once very three weeks he would meet with a CIA agent at the Reflecting Pool
in Washington, passing on names and evaluations."...

"In addition to being an athletic young man at Yale in the late '40s, Bush I
was a member of the Skull & Bones society at Yale. CLOAK AND GOWN noted
that "Yale's most prestigious social life turned on secret societies, of
which perhaps Skull and Bones was the most exclusive" and that "It was
widely rumored that the secret societies were recruiting grounds as well,"
for the CIA.

Pro-War Democratic Party Presidential Candidate John Kerry is not only
nearly a billionaire who's married to Heinz Foundation Official Theresa
Heinz-Kerry. Militarist Democratic Party Presidential Candidate Kerry is
also a member of "Skull & Bones," which was described in the back pages
of THE NEW YORK TIMES on May 20, 1991 as a "men-only organization" and a
" Yale secret society that recently locked its crypt rather than admit
women."

For more information about the significance of 2004 Democratic Party
Presidential Candidate John Kerry's "Skull & Bones" membership, readers
might be interested in checking out the movie SKULLS. Perhaps it's time for
a U.S. Congressional Committee to initiate a public investigation on the
role that Yale University and its Skull & Bones society has played in U.S.
presidential politics since 1904?
