      20. To repeat: the homosocial overlaps with the homoerotic. Not all desires are acted on.

      21. Indeed for someone like Jaffa it could be that Bloom debased Platonic love by acting on it. The truest love is just wistful sighing.

      22. Bloom endangered the Straussian enterprise by making the esoteric exoteric, by opening the door of the philosophic closet.

      @HeerJeet It's like William Bennett - Bush Sr.'s drug czar, but a severe gambling addict

      @marksholdice That's true. And Bennet was an ally of the Straussians, if not a full one himself.

      @marksholdice Really? Not sure dates match. Pangle was in Toronto before he went to Austin.
