PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JULY 22, 1986
Charles, unusually close to his own sons, hopes to avoid any such schism.
Judging by the Queen's apparent good health, Charles may not ascend to
the throne until he reaches an age when most people retire.
If that
happens, it is likely he would be King for a relatively short time, and
Wills could reign for much of the next century.
On July 23 Sarah
Ferguson will become a Princess.
But around the world, more than a few
eyes will be on King Tot.
As horrible as it is to contemplate, it is nevertheless true that Queen
Elizabeth, who recently turned 60, is a marked woman. The Queen was the
ultimate target of five IRA gunmen convicted on June 11 of plotting a
seaside bombing campaign in mainland Britain, British newspapers have
reported, quoting police and security sources. The DAILY MIRROR and the
color daily TODAY said the Queen was marked for assassination in July.
TODAY said the guerrillas planned to shoot the queen in Brighton,
southern England, as she visited a scho9l for the blind.
Police found
details of the plan, and a second assassination bid in event of failure,
in a "bomb calendar" found when the five were arrested in Glasgow,
Scotland.
