Or the scholars, filmmakers, journalists and do-gooders who have studied them, publicized them and labored to "save" them for four decades? Last week the question ricocheted through academia as scientists responded to charges of fraudulent research, intellectual vendettas, sexual misbehavior and unethical experimentation that has spread disease and death through the Yanomami.
