Kozo Okamoto, who in 1972 walked into Tel Aviv's airport on a mission designed to end his life and emerged as its only survivor, has died in Lebanon at 78. His existence after that morning was itself a kind of historical remainder — a man who outlived his cause, his comrades, and the Cold War geometry that had made their alliance possible. His death closes one of the stranger human arcs of the era when revolutionary movements crossed oceans to fight each other's wars.
