However, these rules of decency and discretion were violated in the most callous and tasteless manner by anthropologists at the Peabody Museum on Thursday, January 24, 1980. This group openly advertised and later presented explicit film material on clitoridectomy of small African girls. The main speaker was anthropologist Tore Hakansson, a man who has been refused academic endorsement by all institutions in his native Sweden because of lack of training and his bizarre subject matter. When I was informed of the plans for this presentation by Mr. Hakansson, I strongly protested the showing of his films on the grounds that...
...rare small town that is not afflicted by poverty; 38% of the black inhabitants of small towns live below the poverty line. Then, too, it is only an unusual small town that does not have a dilapidated neighborhood to which the citified word slum might be applied.

DIED. Gregory Bateson, 76, English anthropologist, psychologist and free-ranging investigator of ideas; of a respiratory illness; in San Francisco.

Marr, now at Seattle's KVI, has hired Jennifer James, a cultural anthropologist. Station KXRX in San Jose has taken on Psychologist Thomas Tutko, while San Francisco's KSFO signed Psychologist Bonnie Ring. Bay Area Rival KGO hopes to top that by finding a male and a female psychologist to do a show together. Says a KGO spokeswoman: "Everyone in the industry...
...brief mention of a woman who delivered a child and then ate some of the afterbirth. For the straitlaced Sioux, these references are a bit much. "The Lakota, next to the Cheyenne, were one of the most sexually restrained native societies that have been documented," says Sioux Anthropologist Bea Medicine. Adds JoAllyn Archambault, a Lakota Sioux studying for her Ph.D. in anthropology at Berkeley: "No one's objecting to what did happen-we tortured, we ate dogs. What we're objecting to is what didn't happen...
