BOSTON (Reuters) - Conspiracy theorists, rejoice: the man elected president on Nov. 2 will be a member of an elite secret cabal with tentacles that reportedly stretch into all layers of American society.

We're not making this up.

Despite their ideological differences, Democrat John Kerry and Republican George W. Bush share much in common. Each was raised amid wealth and privilege in the northeastern United States, and each attended Yale University in the 1960s where they joined the same secret society: Skull and Bones.

Founded more than 150 years ago, Skull and Bones is shrouded in the kind of mystery befitting the Gothic, Ivy League campus where its members meet behind closed doors in a windowless structure known as the tomb. It started admitting women in 1991.
