TLotR 50th Anniversary page 947,end of "Mount Doom" chapter:

	"'Yes,'said Frodo.'...now all is over.
	I am glad you are here with me.Here at
	the end of all things,Sam.'"

On page 950,third page of "Field of Cormallen" chapter:

	"'I am glad that you are here with me,'
	said Frodo.'Here at the end of all things,
	Sam.'"

Is this a recapitulation of the same statement,
as the narrative returns to the perspective of
Frodo and Sam?...or is it (as the interpolated 
"that" might argue,has it been stable in all
editions?) an instance in which he repeated himself
to Sam for whatever reason having previously said
the same words without the "that"?

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