...Everybody Is Sick." Starkweather's battle started at the one-story frame house in Lincoln's rundown Belmont section, where Caril lived with her mother, stepfather and two-year-old half sister. For several days relatives noticed an unnatural stillness around the house; twice they came to find out why. Caril turned them away at the door, reported the family ill. Detectives called to investigate, found no one home, a note on the door: "Stay away. Everybody is sick with the flu. Miss Bartlett." Still concerned, the family came back.

His improvised solution-a two-story arcade made up of Doric and Ionic columns that frame intervening arches supported by free-standing columns-was so brilliantly successful that it has since been copied the length and breadth of Europe. A decade later he was the architect Venice turned to for the plans of San Giorgio Maggiore, one of the most beautiful, classically ordered churches in the city. But it was the country...
