"Fair and balanced", that phrase never fails to make me suspicious, but I'll
take your word for it.
Interesting, however, that the Neocons might 'falsely claim' that Strauss
was a founding father. I can believe that Strauss might not have wished for
such offspring, but if the Neocons were really influenced by Strauss how can
their claims be false?
That said, I promise to return to the TNR site and read the review.

I did read the article. I read it and then went onto the New Republic site to get an impression of where they were coming from. I only got as far as reading the titles I'm afraid, and have to admit that I stopped when I got to 'Defending the legacy of Leo Strauss'. Shame on me for not giving the right wingers a chance.
I'm very sorry to hear it, Simon. It's a review of a fair and balanced book about Leo Strauss, whom the Neocons falsely claim as one of their founding fathers.
