    Dominic M. Martin
    These nine stories, scenes from a now-faraway youth, necessarily would have been misremembered, truncated, and therefore come into the present morphed into an entity quite distinct and separate from what they once were; however, they still bear the better telling.

  • Sette
    Dominic M. Martin / Dominic MMartin
    Bankers used to be stodgy types, close and fretful, and above all, disinclined to act.

Over time, watched over by a somnolent if not collusive government, bankers morphed to a new model: The Young Turks. They gamble with other people’s money and constantly ...

  • UNDICI
    Dominic M. Martin / Dominic MMartin / M. Martin Dominic M. Martin / MMartin Dominic MMartin
    A unique twist of fate led me to go from a traditional Jesuit university, Gonzaga, to one of the most liberal state schools, the University of California at Santa Cruz, at that time known as the archetypal 'hippie school'. That juxtaposition informs Undici because at Santa Cruz I was exposed to many gallons of progressive pap, and I saw it as such because of the earlier educati...
