Excavation

Like a rosebud to thorns, the Wall Street Journal's rightist editorial page lies ensconced in one of the furthest leftward American newspapers. Today, on those gauche pages, an article on Apache renegade Geronimo just short of historical fiction:

The grave of the famed warrior has long been rumored to have been robbed during World War I by a small group of young military officers that included Prescott Bush, the president's late grandfather, and other members of Yale University's secretive Skull and Bones society.


Presumably, the New York Times will bookend the week with the front page publication of a story under the headline "Holy Grail on Bush Estate: Family Heirloom Retrieved from Ottoman Expedition, Used as Ashtray."
