...wife, their two young daughters, Bull's mother and uncle. Dead were a dozen or so artists, some of them promising, including Douglas Davis, 33, who had been living in Paris and had decided at the last minute to visit his mother in Atlanta.

The most squalid city in Italy has music in its streets, cluttered pink and white buildings, seagulls screaming overhead, a bright blue waterfront, a Roman amphitheater where Gennaro-patron saint of Naples-achieved his exaltation simply because a pride of lions refused to eat him.
