Handsome Dan XVII
A new bulldog named Sherman quietly assumed the mascot position as Handsome Dan XVII in late winter 2006.
Bred by Diane Judy of Johnson City, Tenn., Handsome Dan XVII, a 50-pound bulldog, is the half brother of Rambo, owned by former Yale football captain Rory Hennessey '05. His home name is "Sherman", after the tank and Connecticut icon Roger. Sherman, who took over as Handsome Dan XVII, has taken to his job with great enthusiasm and in his brief life has already been photographed with former President George Bush '48 and Sir Paul McCartney. He is very athletic, retrieves with vigor and has already raised thousands of dollars for charity.

“Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is an anathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future, right wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.”
