[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scowcroft_Group The Scowcroft Group], a firm similiar to McLarty and Kissinger's group, also had on its board of directors Bob Strauss. Strauss rebuilt the [[Democratic party]] in the 1970s as DNC Chairman after [[George McGovern]]'s defeat. Strauss managed the 1976 Democratic convention which nominated [[Jimmy Carter]]. When Carter was elected Scowcroft was out of a job.
In 1982 [[Henry Kissinger]]
and Scowcroft founded Kissinger Associates.

Scowcroft returned as National Security Adviser to President H.W. Bush in 1989. Bush Sr. appointed Bob Strauss Ambassador to the [[Soviet Union]], which in short order made Strauss the first US Ambassador to the [[Russian Federation]], setting an example to the infant [[democracy]] how a two-party system and [[bipartisan]]ship work. In 1992 when the [[Clinton]]s took the [[White House]], Scowcroft was again out of a job. Scowcroft and Bush Sr. then collaborated on a book about the end of the [[Cold War]] entitled, ''A World Transformed'', an obvious take-off of [[Henry Kissinger]]'s book on [[Prince Metternich]] ''A World Restored''.
