  The Once and Future King?
Agnew met with King Zahir, who discussed his policy priorities, especially the importance of "diplomatic rapport" with the Soviet Union, his powerful northern neighbor, as well as his interest in a U.S. presence (economic aid, etc.) as a balance against Moscow.
King Zahir presided over a cautious political and social modernization effort that inspired the wrath of Afghanistan's budding Islamist movement.
Weeks before the fall of King Zahir, embassy political officer Albert Fairchild prepared a detailed report on Afghani left-wing political movements, with considerable detail on the two communist factions that were named after their publications: Parcham (the Banner) and Khalq (the Masses).

Immediately after his second enthronement at 11am of 4 June, King Gyanendra appointed a commission to investigate and report on the deaths of the royal family in Narayanhiti Darbar made up of the chief justice, the speaker of the Lower House and the leader of the opposition, and gave them a three-day deadline.
The king will be in constant touch with plenipotentiaries and their Heads of State, and is likely to display the same deft touch in his dealings.
King Gyanendra’s detractors, and there are many of those with vested interests, must look at the validity of Nietzsche’s saying: “They who chase wrong doers must be careful lest they do wrong themselves.

 THE ANTICHRIST OF REVELATION | Prince William: Britain's Future King 666   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
That future time is not yet, although with that said, it seems that a certain young Prince and Future King in Roman London has already caught the attention of others who have both been influenced by this work, and that of their own research.
He is already seen as the Once and Future King returned, not in a resurrection of Arthur, as much as returning in the spirit of Arthur and as Revelation 17:8 states, it is the same spirit that possessed the Antichrist King in his first incarnation which also possesses the man who later becomes the Beast.
Once these gates are opened there will be no stopping the onslaught of deceptions that follow, all of which do their part to support the Beast right up until the time Christ returns to destroy it all, for these same deceptions will ultimately make clear the path for Antichrist and his ascension.

 King Arrhur
Legendary King of Britain from around 400 AD to 600 AD, Arthur was the son of Uther Pendragon and Igraine, whose actual name might have been its Latin version, Arturus.
This king is mentioned briefly in the Easter Annals, or the Annals of Wales, describing battles of the sixth century, and later by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his History of the Kings of Britain (ca 1136).
There is a legend which says that Arthur is the Once and Future King of Britain, meaning that he is bound to return at some time in the future to reign again over all of Britain.

 Elvis: The Once and Future King -
Once upon a time--say, 40 years ago--being an Elvis fan was as fun and untroubled as joining the celebration of your hometown winning the pennant.
Elvis was a dinosaur, and for a while an Elvis fan took on a certain nobility, as the king of rock and roll went into eclipse and the rabble followed after foreign gods.
Mimicking the king and trashing rock and roll, the impersonator stormed Las Vegas, gained weight, and drew musical inspiration not from Muddy Waters but from Liberace.

Kings owners Joe and Gavin Maloof announced the signing during a celebratory news conference with Bibby at The Palms casino in Las Vegas, which is owned by the Maloof family.
After averaging 13.7 points and 5.0 assists during the regular season, Bibby elevated his game to remarkable levels in the playoffs, averaging 20.3 points per game against the Lakers.
Geoff Petrie, the Kings' president of basketball operations, missed the news conference to be at a wedding, but Bibby's signing for a relatively modest price is another coup for the executive who has turned the Kings around from perennial losers to title contenders in just four seasons.

 King Arthur History Essay 87
King Arthur - The Once and Future King
It is thought by some that Riothamus is not a name, but an honorific, meaning "King, High", (in the manner of Octavian always being called Augustus) and may be the source of the Arthur legend, the king thus known as Arthur in Britain and as Riothamus by others, and elsewhere.
The King Arthur question, essentially, is whether a great military leader of the Britons wins a major battle against the English (at Mount Badon or anywhere else) sufficient to convince the Britons, at the time, that they have finally extinguished the English.
