Martial
Marcus Valerius Martialis, or Martial (born between 38 and 41 CE, died between 102 and 104 CE) is celebrated for his droll, frequently salacious, portrayal of Roman high and low society during the first century rule of the emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. Considered the 'inventor' of the modern epigram, Martial was a native of Hispania, who came to Rome in the hope of securing both patronage and advancement. From the bath-houses, taverns and gymnasia to the sculleries and slave-markets of the capital, Martial in his famous Epigrams sheds merciless light on the hypocrisies and sexual mores or rich and poor alike. Lindsay C and Patricia Watson provide an attractive overview - for students of classics and ancient history, as well as comparative literature - of the chief themes of his sardonic writings. They show that Martial is of continuing and special interest because of his rediscovery in the Renaissance, when writers viewed him as an incisive commentator on failings similar to those of their own day. The later reception of "Martial", by Juvenal and others, forms a major part of this informative survey.

Reese is still alive and in prison, but he's petitioned for a new trial, claiming that someone else who looks uncannily like him actually committed the crimes for which he was convicted.

Dwellers on Two Planes
DWELLERS ON TWO PLANES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For me, it has been an act of courage to write and publish this book. Even under ordinary circumstances, it is not easy to stand behind your words and thoughts and to share them. The subject could be light hearted. Still, the writer must own it on the page. But this is no ordinary book. This is a Spirit Guide coming to me to speak through me with information for this planet, Earth. He speaks in the first person, as I am his scribe taking his dictation.
