Prisoner of the state breaks toward freedom in Sardinia
A prisoner known as Number 101 escapes during road work, overpowers a guard with asphalt, and flees on a horse toward the mountains. Wounded, he is found by a monk who carries him to a forest grotto. He recovers with help from Mutterelli, who hints at a shared secret society and a link to Brother Michael, Jesuit in Sardinia. The narrative ends with questions of escape and loyalty as the monk and the prisoner confront their hidden identities.

Marriage and Long Life. Marriage extends longevity, study says
Frederick L. Hoffman, noting mortality tables, argues marriage lowers death rates for males at all ages, especially 45 to 64, where roughly three single men die to two married ones. For females, married life favors longevity after age 44. Below age 40, deaths in married individuals rise slightly from certain causes, including cancer and nervous and circulatory diseases, while consumptions are higher among singles. Above 45, married people live longer in both sexes, supporting the idea that marriage promotes longevity, with other factors like regular living also at play.
