A recent article in the Yale Daily News contained this tidbit:
Cartoonist Garry Trudeau '70 said he thinks a little-known fact about President George W. Bush '68's past -- that his first mention in The New York Times occurred in 1967 when, as former president of the Delta Kappa Epsilon chapter at Yale, Bush defended the fraternity's practice of branding its pledges with a red-hot coat hanger -- deserves more national attention. ...
In a News story the next day, Bush is quoted calling the branding "insignificant." He said he did not understand how the News "can assume Yale has to be so haughty not to allow this type of pledging to go on."
Also a proponent of and apologist for torturing DKE pledges was Collister Johnson '68, who was Bush's "Ohio campaign manager and national field director during the 2004 presidential election."
Ah, bright college years, with pleasures rife!
