The Free West has an entertaining introduction to Alfonso Krause, the link between Leo Strauss and Heraclitus:
Krause met Marcuse, Hannah Arendt as well as Strauss in Heidegger's famous seminar. Heidegger, as we know, was fascinated by the sage from Ephesus. Like Marcuse, Arendt and Strauss Krause refused to learn to drive a car and used only taxis on his way home from the seminar He was a firm believer in the need-to-know principle; when asked by the taxi drivers where he wanted to go--he invariably told them that this was none of their business.
Most of it comes off as too entertaining and I couldn't find any other references to the gentleman, but Krausismo, albeit grandpa's, appears to be a genuine enough to rate a conference.
