- <p> DIED. COLIN TURNBULL, 69, anthropologist and author; of pneumonia;
- in Kilmarnock, Virginia. At various times in his life a British
- navy man, a Buddhist monk and a museum curator, Turnbull found
- fame with two books: The Forest People, his 1961 study of the
- Pygmies in Zaire, whom he admired for their profoundly just
- society; and the grimly contrasting The Mountain People (1972),
- which portrayed Uganda's hunger-plagued Ik tribe, driven to
- abandon the most basic social virtues, even the protection of
- their own children. The best seller and standard text was adapted
- for the stage by Turnbull and avant-garde director Peter Brook.
