Strauss and Schmitt - symbiosis?

Michael Presley remembers Heinrich Meier's study, which

demonstrates how Carl Schmitt, due to his own exigencies, was unable to exoterically collaborate with Leo Strauss, but at the same time used Strauss' criticisms to modify and refine his own thinking.

This puts a very interesting light on Schmitt - but it requires you to be up-to-date in your Schmitt reading.
