POPSLongest Serving Monach-In-Waiting Turns 60 There were media reports of an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, now Charles' second wife. And then the tragic death of Diana in a car accident in Paris. Now, at 60, he seems happily remarried and is clearly proud of his two grown sons, both popular royals in their own right. During six decades he has carved a niche as one of Britain's leading charity patrons, raising around $150 million a year for 20 charities. "People do pay attention," said Fitzwilliams. "There are jokes about his talking to plants, but he has earned the right to be taken seriously." Prince Charles, asked in a recent BBC interview how he defined his role as prince, said, "I didn't.

POPSGreenpeace shifting focus to dialogue in anti-whaling campaign
Whaling is a barbaric murderous business and besides the moral implications of killing our friends, great beautiful, graceful, air-breathing, large-brained, socially sophisticated, singing, communicating animals, whaling is just contributing to the more dangerous human impact on killing the oceans. When we finish killing the oceans thru our pollutions and overfishing, we'll be dead. Brutal humanity is disgusting to some of us but not apparently to some here in this forum (Japan Today) and in Japan, Iceland and Norway. Thank the Sea Gods for Sea Shepherd and Capt. Paul Watson who will be In the Southern Ocean aboard the "Steve Irwin" to confront the Whalers again.

POPSRocky Marciano
I remember that fight! full story @ source. Born in Brockton in 1923, Marciano held the heavyweight title for four years in the 1950s and is the only champion to have retired undefeated, at 49-0.
