...difficult to appreciate the nostalgia of the public-which included John Kennedy-for the place and the musical called Camelot. A golden blend of song and story, it celebrated the fabled, far-off landscape of the English soul, where it never rained till after sun down and where by royal decree summer lingered through September. By Broadway standards, no musical ever had a more regal lineage. Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, the creators of My Fair Lady, did book and lyrics, based on T. H.

So far, the place has attracted only two plants and 1,200 inhabitants; lack of sales halted home building two years ago at the 12,000-acre site 25 miles northeast of Sac ramento, Calif.
