Anthony Porter
Anthony Porter (born 12/14/1954-died 07/05/2021) was a Chicago resident known for having been exonerated in 1999 of the murder in 1982 of two teenagers on the South Side of the city. He was convicted and sentenced to death in 1983, and served 17 years on death row. He was exonerated following introduction of new evidence by Northwestern University professors and students from the Medill School of Journalism as part of their investigation for the school's Innocence Project. Porter's appeals had been repeatedly rejected, including by the US Supreme Court, and he was once 50 hours away from execution. Porter was exonerated after another suspect was identified and confessed, in a process since considered highly controversial.

Spiegel (catalog)
Spiegel was an American direct marketing retailer founded in 1865 by Joseph Spiegel. Spiegel published a catalog, like its competitors Sears and Montgomery Ward, which advertised various brands of apparel, accessories, and footwear, as well as housewares, toys, tools, firearms and electronics. Their company brands included Newport News, Shape FX, and Old Kraftsman, among others. They also operated brick and mortar stores. Spiegel delivered its first mail order catalog in 1905 and by 1925, the retailer had 10 million customers.
