   the list to its lowest point in almost thirty years.   
      
   2008...British monarch/matriarch,Elizabeth II(1926)   
          Pope,Benedict XVI(April 1927)   
          LDS president,Thomas S. Monson (August 1927)   
          Chief Justice,John G. Roberts (1955)   
      
   The Queen has gone from bottom to top in six years.   
      
   2013...British monarch/matriarch,Elizabeth II(1926)   
          LDS president,Thomas S. Monson (1927)   
          Pope,Francis I(1936)   
          Chief Justice,John G. Roberts (1955)   
      
   2018...LDS president,Russell M. Nelson(1924)   
          British monarch/matriarch,Elizabeth II(1926)   
          Pope,Francis I(1936)   
          Chief Justice,John G. Roberts (1955)   
      
   LDS succession moves the Queen back into second place...and some   
   nonagenarians get moved out of the "older than" category.   
      
   2022...LDS president,Russell M. Nelson(1924)   
          Pope,Francis I(1936)   
          British monarch,Charles III(1948)   
          Chief Justice,John G. Roberts (1955)   
      
   Nelson survives the Queen.   
   If Camilla counts as "matriarch" she was born 1947.   
      
   Nelson's death will not lower the floor of the list(11 of the 14 men in   
   succession are older than Roberts and the only younger ones rank in   
   the last five) and neither would the   
   election as Pope of any present Cardinal but 47).   
   Right now you have to be more than three months past a hundred years   
   old to be older than the whole list,and if younger than four weeks   
   from seventy are younger than them all.   
      
   Meanwhile the older-thans die every day.

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