...Orleans, some 120 were injured and 11 perished, including Dowe and Bonnin. For those two, the song's words "halfway home, we'll be there by mornin'" seem particularly heartbreaking. With Dowe died the excitement of a single mom eager to graduate from college in December. Her son turns two in May and cries for his mother. With Bonnin ended a stunning miracle: after six years of prayer and abjuring chemotherapy, she discovered three weeks ago that her non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was in remission. "After she'd come this far, it didn't seem right," says Bonnin's son...

...born in Florence, the son of intensely Europhile parents (his father was a New England doctor, his mother a clinging neurasthenic who couldn't bear the crude culture of her birthplace). The Sargents were not rich, but they moved from one roost to another--Rome, Paris, Nice, Munich, Venice, the Austrian Tyrol--for the first 18 years of their son's life. All he retained of America was his passport and some traces of accent; yet he held onto both until his death. Sargent's relation to America was neither resentful nor yearning, as it is with so many expatriates...
