Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 326 pages; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. "From its opening moments of Hamptons real estate broker Allan Schneider's choking on a piece of rare steak to its final scene of Lauren Bacall's singing 'God Bless America' while watching the fireworks over East Hampton's Main Beach, Philistines at the Hedgerow: Passion and Property in the Hamptons is a spellbinding chronicle of one of the most unusual communities in the world. Steven Gaines skillfully weaves together the stories of the Hamptons' mansions and millionaires, as told through the extraordinary lives of the people who have lived there, into a rich, gossipy tapestry. Both a contemporary portrait of the Hamptons and a historical narrative, Philistines at the Hedgerow is filled with tales of pirate treasure, a witch-hunt, and the many beguiling eccentricities of the Hamptons today. Masterfully told by bestselling author and Hamptons insider Steven Gaines, Philistines at the Hedgerow is also a story of real estate. Gaines reveals how thirty miles of once inaccessible oceanfront farmland became the playground to the super rich, the nexus of Nouvelle Society, and the obsession of the most creative and powerful personalities in the corporate, entertainment, and media worlds. Investigating the telling relationship between property and personality, Gaines shows how land in the Hamptons has become the showcase of self-worth--be it castles, indoor lagoons, or mere acreage--the greater the ego, the more fantastic the manor. This is an engaging examination of the historical legacy of the East End of Long Island, from the original Indian tribes who hunted and fished the land to the polo players who ride it today. Ultimately, Philistines at the Hedgerow is an insider's depiction of a unique cultural phenomenon: the rapturous embodiment of the American dream in a magical place. Philistines at the Hedgerow: Passion and Property in the Hamptons is the first-ever social history of the most exclusive and unusual enclave in America. Steven Gaines gets inside the world behind the walled estates and rolling dunes, in a mesmerizing story of money, celebrity, property, and eccentric characters. / Steven Gaines is the author of Obsession, a biography of Calvin Klein, and Simply Halston. He is a resident of Wainscott, New York, located in the Hamptons." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.

But none is as secret as Yale's infamous Skull and Bones. Founded in the nineteenth century and housed in an ominous cryptlike building referred to as "the Tomb," Skull and Bones secretly taps for membership a small number of Yale students each year. All are sworn to secrecy about what goes on inside the Tomb and about how powerful the organization really is. Rumors abound. It has been said that Bonesmen (as its members are known) are so protective of the organization's secrets that they must leave the room if the words skull and bones are uttered. It has been said that the Tomb contains stolen relics such as Geronimo's skull. It has been said that upon graduation from Yale each member is given a substantial sum of money with numerous strings attached. It has even been said that Skull and Bones is the dark heart of a secret world government. People point to a suspicious number of Bonesmen who have gone on to positions of power and influence, deserved or not, including George W. Bush; his father, George H. W. Bush; United States senators; CIA officials; cabinet members; and numerous heads of major international corporations. Now, in Secrets of the Tomb, acclaimed journalist Alexandra Robbins accomplishes what no one before her ever has. She has managed to get scores of Bonesmen to talk about what really happens inside the Tomb and exactly what influence the organization truly wields. She reveals for the first time who has been a member and what that membership has meant. Robbins takes us inside the Tomb and onto Skull and Bones' private island. She exposes the organization's secret initiation rites and dissects their true impact on world affairs. A spectacular feat of investigative reporting, Secrets of the Tomb is more than the definitive book on the most secret society in the world. It is also a provocative exploration of our collective obsession with conspiracy and connection.".
