There was nothing moderate, though, in the manner of his death. Two weeks ago he was gunned down as he walked with his wife and a bodyguard outside a borrowed villa in Conakry, the capital of neighboring Guinea.

Seven years later Reo was replaced by British Anthropologist Gregory Bateson under oddly similar circumstances. Emerging from a joint study trip to Kenakatem in New Guinea, Margaret and Reo joined Gregory in the nearby village of Kankanamun to compare notes for a few days. Though they had not previously met, all three slept in the same guesthouse. One night, reports Mead, "Reo woke to hear Greg and me talking," already immersed in "a kind of communication...
