as a boy, if anyone asked me which magic power i'd choose, i always went for time travel. i wanted to see without being seen. and really i think that this is what defines all anthropologists: a natural tendency to observe and a healthy dose of curiosity for all things human, but without ever reaching the levels of sensibility of the artist, the solemnity of the philosopher, or the opportunism of the lawyer. our healthy curiosity isn't quite the systematic, slightly obsessive rigor of the spy or the scientist, and we're far from boasting the deductive inventiveness of the sociologist, or the novelist's discipline. but i guess you could say we have a little of all these things, if you're a glass-half-full kind of guy.
