"Apache heirs sue Skull and Bones over remains": The Yale Daily News today contains an article that begins, "The descendants of the Apache Geronimo, a warrior chieftain whose remains are rumored to be held inside Yale's oldest secret society, filed a lawsuit Tuesday demanding the return of their ancestor's skull. Twenty members of the legendary warrior's family are suing senior federal government officials, the University and the society Skull and Bones in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to seek the return of Geronimo's remains as well as punitive damages."
