 "In order to get back at Kerry, members of the [Yale's] Liberal Party formed the Dixwell Society.

Yeah, but what about the John Forbes Kerry opium inheritance that saved his Democratic Party nomination fight when dollars were short. He inherited 4 trust funds from Forbes family wealth in 2002 when mother died. Those trusts were built originally with money from China trade dealing opium, so much that Kerry's grandfather James Grant Forbes was born in China (later live with Rosemary Forbes Kerry in Paris and France on wealth) and his father was an opium dealer and poppy botanist, etc. with cousing John Murray Forbes. Interesting stuff!
