   The only son of the last King of Italy,   
   who renounced his claim to the throne and   
   crown jewels in order to be allowed to   
   go back to that country,has died...   
   he had run into various legal troubles   
   and a rival branch of the dynasty (descended   
   from Amedeo of Aosta,who briefly tried to   
   be King of Spain in the 1870s) disputed   
   his claim to the heirship.   
      
   His son Emmanuel Philbert (Emmanuele Filiberto)   
   has both renounced the claim (in accordance with   
   current Italian republican law) and promised to   
   pass it on to his daughter (not allowed under the   
   past Italian monarchical laws,I believe).

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