Klein was to write a book on tyranny? Or is Strauss speaking of himself--perhaps annoyed by the persistent reference to the dog as something important. A pet...
Are these letters illuminative (for lack of a better term) regarding Strauss's remarks in the "giving of accounts" series of lectures? The Strauss and Klein...
A very interesting website, "The Stiftung Leo Strauss." Something there to like and hate for everyone. http://www.stiftungleostrauss.com/bunker/?p=36 "The...
Dear Mr. van Dyke, Now just what the heck was wrong with the gilded age? I hope you didn't dislike it *too * much, because i think we're on the cusp of another...
Really Dan. I'm still trying to figure out what Washington's and Hamilton's views of Federalism had in common with Jefferson's. Ah yes the Federalists who...
Re: [leo-strauss] Christian Authoritarian Socialism Dear Mr. [V]an Dyke, Now just what the heck was wrong with the gilded age? I hope you didn't dislike it...
... Very nice accounting of the Foundering history, Ray. The last sentence is elegant and severely quotable, and all is worthy of citation. My compliments. ...
Mr. Valle, you have just destroyed Jaffa's entire project by appealing to the simple truth of diversity of passionate opinion, not to mention how time deforms...
I've never gotten much out of Klein's books. The best stuff to read is probably his Lectures and Essays, where you can find a much clearer summary of his...
... Well I believe that the Federalist Papers did that also. But I cannot take credit for the accomplishment you posit. As I have found so little of Jaffa...
In "A Giving of Accounts" Strauss repeats the high praise of Klein's Algebra study that he had previously voiced in "An Unspoken Prologue" and in his Preface...
Dear Ray, ? I didn't say that the founders were of one mind. 4 - hunting accidents aren't duels. I have to say that dueling was a noble thing, as long as not...
Dan, Sorry if I was unclear but I never attributed, or meant to, the ridiculous opinion that the founders were of one mind. That was from the post you were...
... cannot take credit for the accomplishment you posit. As I have found so little of Jaffa readable without shaking my head in disbelief at the wonderful and...

... I really enjoy the Cohen Brothers. My favorite is Miller's Crossing, with Raising Arizona a close second. But their funniest scene, in my opinion, is...
Dan, You remind me of a story Howard White told of walking with Strauss. Apparently Strauss' medical doctor told him that he must walk 20 minutes every day....
I do like that story, Ray. A sound calculation, too, as long as the pace remained steady. Perhaps the topic of conversation helped in that regard. Dan ... ...
... too well. However, when my congressman votes regularly to usurp basic Constitutional rights and to undermine the rule of law in this country (one of the...
Unfortunately it may take more than a mile walk on a beach to get at what I'm aiming at describing in DePalma's films. Don't worry, I'll only talk of...
... Ray, I suppose this is an insult, but I'll take it as a compliment. Who is Strauss and who is White in this scenario? Why look at one's watch? Wouldn't...
... read is ... Goodness, I just purchased Klein's book on Algebra. Is this low opinion of it common? I was surprised to find it in a Dover edition - such...
