Everybody is running the photo of him in the Amazon doing field research, even though his field research was not especially strong. A few quotes from the article:
Why not admit it? I was fairly quick to discover that I was more a man for the study than for the field.
I hate traveling and explorers.
Quite admirable! After discovering he had no taste for what was seen as the defining activity in his discipline, he didn't spend his life pretending or trying to be a brilliant field researcher. Nor did he resign himself to mediocrity. He found a way to bring his talents to bear in a field where everybody assumed that different talents were required.
