...trop belle (The bride is too beautiful)," mused one television commentator, meaning that so decisive a victory placed on the Gaullists an inescapable and unparalleled burden for France's future. "The Gaullist tank is more powerful than ever, but it no longer has any brakes," warned Temoignage Chretien (Christian Witness), a liberal Catholic weekly. "What a temptation for the driver to roll right over any opposition...

...exactly a pajama game. As Mark Twain and Rodgers & Hart had done with Connecticut Yankee, one method would have been to mock the legend with pure comedy. Others have played it straight an impressive list that includes Geoffrey of Monmouth, Wace. Layamon, Chretien de Troyes, Sir Thomas Malory, Sir Walter Scott, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and now Alan Jay Lerner. In Camelot, he necessarily left out some of the legend's great characters: Sir Kay the Seneschal, Tristram and Isolde, Elaine the lily-maid of Astolat, even Sir Galahad, the squarest knight at the Round Table...
