		Joseph Baermann Strauss was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, just ten years after the Civil War.
		Alfred K. Nippert, Strauss' fraternity brother, recalled, "Before a crowded house, a bewildered faculty, and a distinguished group of visitors and speakers, this modest, soft-spoken young graduate unfolded his Utopian dream." Though Strauss' plan was unorthodox, his earnestness won over the skeptical audience.
		Strauss was a prolific engineer, constructing some 400 drawbridges across the U.S. He dreamed of building "the biggest thing of its kind that a man could build." In 1919, San Francisco's city engineer, Michael O'Shaughnessy, approached Strauss about bridging the Golden Gate, the narrow, turbulent passage where San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean.

	Richard Strauss - Biography - AOL Music
		Strauss was born in Munich, the first child of the second marriage of Franz Joseph Strauss, who was regarded as the greatest French horn player in the world.
		Strauss' recording career ended with the conclusion of the Second World War--he never got to work during the long-playing or stereo eras, and the only masters that exist on many of those recordings are from less-than-ideal disc sources, but his records hold up remarkably well despite these limitations.
		After the war, Strauss spent much of the postwar period in exile in Switzerland, and was villified in various quarters for his decision to participate in the cultural life of Nazi Germany.

		Strauss certainly takes seriously claims made on behalf of natural right, and I don’t think that liberal democracy could survive if those claims were altogether discounted in the name of skepticism.
		While Strauss would never have insisted--as GWB seems to have, on at least a couple of occasions--that evil could be eradicated, he would certainly have insisted that it has to be resisted.
		As Dan Mahoney wrote in his Solzhenitsyn book: Strauss as a phenomenologist of the human world was really good: he saw the real distinctions that constitute and shape human life: noble/base; just/unjust; etc. But - Mahoney and I go on to say - his notion of philosophy compelled him to relativize these recognitions.

	Strauss (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Strauss was born in Munich on the 11th of June, 1864, the son of Franz Joseph Strauss, principal hornist in the Court Orchestra (Hoforchester) and Josephine Pschorr, whose family were prominent brewers in the Bavarian capital (a city still famous the world over for its beer).
		This lineage provided the young Richard with a background both musically and financially secure and, indeed, he showed great promise from an early age: he started piano at four (he could read musical notes before letters and words) and began composing at the age of six (lieder, piano pieces and orchestral overtures).
		He revised the work extensively during the winter of 1882-1883, preserving only the introductory Allegro con brio, in which the cello is treated in a heroic style anticipating his tone poem, "Don Juan", of 1888.
