They both went to the same prestigious expensive prep school and both ended up in high ranks of government.
Prep schools as pipe lines to government and high corporate executive positions was definitely true for their generation and earlier. I wonder whether that still holds true.

90 minutes. If you've never seen it.
The title of the documentary is from the Harvard newspaper the next day.
This is after Kerry was at Harvard.

Al Gore
W. Bush
Tommy Lee Jones
Gary Trudeau
Brian Dowling - Yale QB who inspired "D. B." In Doonsbury
Calvin Hill - future NFL player
and Meryl Streep

Very well done
