HILLSIDE, ILL., Melody Top: Camelot, starring Earl Wrightson...
Novelist T. H. White first saw America through the magic casements of Camelot.

The Russian launching of Sputnik made education and intellectualism newly desirable. The Kennedy Administration made it glamorous in a slightly Broadway-tinted way by creating a sort of Camelot for brains. If not quite in the same style, the most distinguished old grad of Texas' Southwest Teachers College continues to employ intellectuals to help...
