 TheDarkTower.net TowerWiki - The Lord Of The Rings
Saruman, like Rhea of the Coos, was corrupted by staring into a crystal ball which had become ensnared by the looking glass (Palantír) the Dark Lord Sauron obtained and bent to his will (or, in The Dark Tower series, the Crimson King).
Saruman used to be the White, but when he turned to evil, he dyed his robes many colors.
The Gray Havens are mentioned in The Dark Tower; the Gray Havens are one of the last places in the north-west where the Elves can retire from Middle-Earth and go back to Elvenhome.

 Palantír -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
A palantír (sometimes translated as Seeing Stone but actually meaning "One that sees from afar") is a stone that functions somewhat like a crystal ball.
When one looks in it, he can communicate with other Stones and anyone who might be looking into them; people of great power can manipulate the Stones to see virtually any part of the world.
Knowledge of this technique was however lost long ago, although Sauron probably knew of it.

 The Barrow-Downs
The Nazgûl withdrew, only to gather in the south, and take the city of Minas Ithil, gaining their master a palantír, and themselves a place they soon turned into a city of dread as it became Minas Morgul, their dreadful base of operations.
In many long struggles, the Nazgûl were eventually able to take the capital of the North Kingdom, Fornost, in 1974, but were driven back the succeeding year by troops led by the Elven Lord Glorfindel, whom even the Witch-King, Lord of the Nine, feared.
In 2050, the Witch-King challenged the King of Gondor, Earnur, to a duel in exactly this place.

 FARK.com: (809557) Academy Award nominations announced
What we're not told is that he had secretly been using a palantr of his own, which Sauron had subverted to drive him mad with despair and hopelessness.
The movie's Denethor appears to be completely irrational, whereas in the book, though he's driven to the most desperate lengths by despair, there's always an inner logic to his actions.
Denethor's madness is an important factor in both the book and the movie, but the film omits any mention of the reasons for this.
