RIP Claude Levi-Strauss

[Leila Monaghan]

Obituary from the NY Times for Claude Levi Strauss. Hits the major points of
his life but doesn't particularly capture how he used categories to
understand myths and the people who created them or how modernist he was,
fitting with the can do scientific zeitgeist of the 1960s and 70s.
