Skull and bones

The Order of Skull and Bones is a secret group based at Yale University, Connecticut. The society is organized as the Russell Trust Association.
In 2004, both US Presidential Nominees - Democratic Senator John Kerry and Republican President George W. Bush - were members of Skull and Bones. They refused to talk about their common membership in Skull and Bones when interviewed on Meet the Press. Bush said "It's so secret, we can't talk about it." Kerry said he cant say anything about the society ("Well not much, because it's a secret... Sorry, I wish there was something I could manifest".)
