   Normally I post under this subject on anniversaries of the   
   birth and accession of Queen Elizabeth II (still the only   
   British monarch under whom TLotR has been in print and now   
   older and longer-reigning than any monarch of Rohan but   
   Aldor the Old) but today I write on the birthday of the   
   Prince of Wales,who is 73 and not king yet (of course we   
   hope the Queen recovers from her current illness).   
      
   Only Frea,son of Aldor,acceded at a greater age than the   
   Prince.   
      
   Kings Gram and Folcwine died at 73.   
      
   Eorl,Brego,Helm,Frealaf,Walda,Folca,and Theoden died younger   
   than the Prince.   
      
   In the next two years he overtakes Deor and Thengel.

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