But none is as secret as Yale's infamous Skull and Bones. Founded in the nineteenth century and housed in an ominous cryptlike building referred to as "the Tomb," Skull and Bones secretly taps for membership a small number of Yale students each year. All are sworn to secrecy about what goes on inside the Tomb and about how powerful the organization really is. Rumors abound. It has been said that Bonesmen (as its members are known) are so protective of the organization's secrets that they must leave the room if the words skull and bones are uttered. It has been said that the Tomb contains stolen relics such as Geronimo's skull. It has been said that upon graduation from Yale each member is given a substantial sum of money with numerous strings attached. It has even been said that Skull and Bones is the dark heart of a secret world government. People point to a suspicious number of Bonesmen who have gone on to positions of power and influence, deserved or not, including George W. Bush; his father, George H. W. Bush; United States senators; CIA officials; cabinet members; and numerous heads of major international corporations. Now, in Secrets of the Tomb, acclaimed journalist Alexandra Robbins accomplishes what no one before her ever has. She has managed to get scores of Bonesmen to talk about what really happens inside the Tomb and exactly what influence the organization truly wields. She reveals for the first time who has been a member and what that membership has meant. Robbins takes us inside the Tomb and onto Skull and Bones' private island. She exposes the organization's secret initiation rites and dissects their true impact on world affairs. A spectacular feat of investigative reporting, Secrets of the Tomb is more than the definitive book on the most secret society in the world. It is also a provocative exploration of our collective obsession with conspiracy and connection.".

Immediately attracted to the "best educated woman he had ever met," John "did not scorn to share with her a man's world." After their marriage Abigail was her husband's full partner and confidant in all he did, and from her first simple, natural concern with his and their family's welfare her horizon immeasurably widened as he was drawn into grave revolutionary and national matters. Their participation in the revolution was whole~hearted, although somewhat less heated than that of John's cousin, Sam. When John left Boston to be delegate to the Continental Congress, envoy to France, Ambassador to the Court of St. James, Abigail followed him first with her letters, then in person. Finally, she was able to fully express her passionate patriotism as First Lady. The sources of this biography are largely Abigail's letters, and she was a peerless letter writer. These are crammed with interesting small sidelights by~passed by most history books. They have enabled Mrs. Whitney to create a vibrant portrait of a charming and vivacious lady and the remarkable times in which she lived.

Biography of Françoise~Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, marquise de Montespan (5 October 1641 ~ 27 May 1707), better known as Madame de Montespan, the most celebrated maîtresse en titre (official mistress) of King Louis XIV of France, by whom she had seven children. Athenais was famous for the brilliance of her fetes, the extravagance of her gambling, and the impeccability of her taste in everything from fashion to buildings. She inspired plays by Moliere and Racine, organized ballets and operas by Lully and Quinault, and commissioned chateaux by the leading architects of France. The Affair of the Poisons (L'affaire des poisons) was a major murder scandal ~a number of prominent members of the aristocracy were implicated and sentenced on charges of poisoning and witchcraft. The scandal reached into the inner circle of the king. ~Athenais' implication in the sinister dealings of sorcerers and poisoners caused a fall from grace almost as precipitous as her rise.
