Rosenbaum is nursing a grudge from when he was a teenybopper? I imagine the Skull and Bones is little different from a frat with a coat-and-tie dress code and kegs of Heineken instead of Coors lite. The number of people who've gone on from the secret society at Harvard (also housed in a super secret private candlelit castle with secret initiation rites) to positions of influence is also amazing -- William Randolf Hearst 1886, former US Attorney General and Secretary of Defense Eliot Richardson '41, actor Fred Gwynn '51 (Herman Munster), authors Owen Wister 1881, George Santayana 1886, William Gaddis '45, George Plimpton '48 and John Updike '54. The name of this nefarious secret society? The Harvard Lampoon.
