Hidden Code. Can it be that the proverb-literally, "before the word"-provides a clue to the common denominator of all human thought? This possibility has been raised by George B. Milner, 50, a linguist at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies. Many anthropologists and linguists have long suspected that the human mind obeys a hidden code-just as the computer follows instructions programmed into it before it begins to "think." In an article for Britain's New Society magazine, Milner contends that the proverb may stand breathtakingly near to the source...

Born in the feral heartland state of Minas Gerais, he was a physician, veterinarian, herbist, linguist, diplomat and government official in charge of border affairs. Writing fiction was just another way of annexing experience, and he occupied his territory thoroughly and imaginatively. His novel Grande Sertào: Veredas, published in the U.S. in 1963 as The Devil to Pay in the Backlands, is encyclopedic in its embrace of Minas Gerais ecology. Yet it is as exciting...
