   I received my letter in 1974 (I had sent a letter to Ballantine Books,   
   which published the calendars,which somehow made it to Rayner Unwin,   
   chairman of Tolkien's UK publisher,who sent a copy to Christopher Tolkien,   
   who sent me a reply.He dated his letter 1973 in error though it referred   
   to a letter I dated 1974...not my most-misdated letter received,as I   
   got a letter from Hamilton Fish the third (1888-1991) in January 1990   
   that was dated 2990).

   Feh,Tolkien fans are elite,ST fans are fools,and those who are both   
   are mixed up.

   The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,   
   at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
