Sad news: Claude Levi-Strauss

Le Monde (in French)
BBC News
Telegraph

Perhaps a little off-topic, but I was very sad to read the above news that anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss has died at the age of 100, on October 31st 2009.

Indeed, if only we copuld aspire to have his intellect or age. My fav quote of his is "The entire village left, leaving the women and children on the river banks". Even the greats needed feminism to see their mistakes.
