- Synopsis
- One part intellectual and one part private eye, Ron Rosenbaum takes readers into "the secret parts" of the great mysteries, controversies, and enigmas of our time, including: the occult rituals of Skull and Bones, the legendary Yale secret society that has produced spies and presidents, including George Bush and George W. Bush; the Secrets of the Little Blue Box, the classic story of "Captain Crunch" and the birth of hacker culture; the "unorthodox" cancer-cure clinics of Tijuana; the Great Ivy League Nude Posture Photo Scandal; the unsolved murder of JFK's mistress. Also including sharp, funny cultural critiques that range from Elvis to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Bill Gates to Oliver Stone, and J. D. Salinger to the Zagat guide, The Secret Parts of Fortune is a vital record of American culture.
