richardf8The New York Times has an article discussing how Barbara Bush (Dubya's Daughter, not Mother) will be the first of Prescott's descendents to Graduate from Yale without having joined Skull and Bones. Lots of speculation on why, but really who cares?
What I found striking was this paragraph:
Prescott went on to become a senator, and two of his sons, George and Jonathan, became Bonesmen. George took time off from Congress in 1967 to return to campus and to personally tap his son, George W.
Would Dubya have not been selected for the self-described meritocracy that is Skull and Bones if his own father had not tapped him?
The implications of this are, well . . . the boy was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.
