During the summer of 1968, Robert and Pamela DiBenedetto spent four
weeks at sleepaway camp in upstate New York. The siblings, twins from
Brooklyn, were twelve years old, and their camps were on opposite sides
of a lake. One morning, Pamela woke up in her cabin with a swollen arm,
an injury that puzzled the camp nurse: Pamela had not fallen or tripped,
been bitten or stung. At the end of the season, however, she learned
that her brother had broken his arm across the lake the day her swelling
began.
