2007

As national Democratic Party chairman he prevailed in the mid-Seventies upon U.S. Rep. Barbara Jordan to be a character witness for John Connally, who was accused of bribery in a trial involving the milk industry and his previous tenure as Treasury Secretary under Richard Nixon. The Strauss-Jordan meetings were re-imagined by Kristie Thatcher (as Kristine Thatcher) in her play about Jordan, "Voice of Good Hope," directed by the author at the BoarsHead Theater in Lansing, Michigan. It ran March 16-April 8, 2007, with Patricia Idlette as Jordan and Gary Houston as Strauss.

1990

In 1990, over Thanksgiving dinner at the Four Seasons restaurant in Manhattan, New York City, he negotiated the final details of Matsushita's takeover of MCA/Universal for $6.6 billion. He set his fee at $8 million, split between both parties equally, because he had represented both sides. When asked about the negotiations by a reporter from the Washington Post, he explained, as usual, he had not counted hours on a time sheet to arrive at his fee. "I don't do windows," he said.

1988

He was the last US Ambassador to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Soviet Union), and the first US Ambassador to Russia, the largest country of the former Soviet Union. President Bush told him that he specifically chose him to be Ambassador because Strauss had publicly announced that he had voted against Bush in the 1988 election, and intended to vote against him in 1992 too. Bush felt that it was important to show the leadership and people of the Soviet Union that there was such a thing as the "loyal opposition" when the Soviet Union was transitioning from a one party oligarchy to a multiparty democracy.

1987

His sister-in-law, Annette Strauss (she married his brother Theodore Strauss), was the elected mayor of Dallas, Texas for one term from 1987 to 1991.

Mr. Carter traveled the nation in that effort, and used that job to lay the groundwork for his successful 1976 presidential campaign.

1918

Robert S. Strauss was born on October 19, 1918 in Lockhart, Texas, USA as Robert Schwarz Strauss. He was married to Helen Jacobs and Helen Jacobs Strauss.

1915

They married, remaining in Texas, where Robert Schwarz Strauss was born in Lockhart, Texas in 1918. When Strauss was one year old, his parents moved the family, first to Hamlin, Texas, and then in nearby Stamford, Texas, where they established and ran a general store.
