The Strauss Jaffa studied with was a WWII Strauss, very eager to promote a patriotic mythology & make peace with religion. The late 40s/1950s Strauss that Bloom knew threw more hints about his doubts about modernity, America, & religion.

WWII Strauss more given to emphasizing need for edifying patriotic stories to shore up endangered liberal democracy. 1950s U of C Strauss focused on creating educated elite that knew the esoteric truths. That's the birth of West/East divide. Also the homophobia divide.
