Involved in many high-profile cases and publishing profusely.</p><p><br /></p><p>And just to add to his &quot;Yalie-ness&quot;, his maternal grandfather was Jeremiah Day, President of Yale from 1817 to 1846. In addition to his Skull and Bones membership, he also belonged to Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon and something called &quot;Brothers in Unity.&quot; No slouch academically either, as he was awarded a Phi Beta Kappa key.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of this came from a lengthy memorial piece after his death in 1920 in something called the Historical Register. I found it attached to several trees on Ancestry, not via Google, so I can&#039;t provide a link non-members will be able to read.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to try to find it on Google books.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
