God's call

to Hubertus

made him REalLIZe that hunting had distracted him from fulfilling

his RELigious duties on Easter's Good Friday.

Margaret Mead

was both a student of civilization

and an exemplar of it.

To a public of millions,

she brought the central

insight of cultural anthropology:

that varying cultural patterns express

an underlying human unity.

She mastered her discipline,

but she also transcended it.

Intrepid, independent, plain spoken, fearless,

she remains a model for the young and

a teacher from whom all may learn.
