...often Camelot's gaiety grows flip or desperate, as its more serious scenes seem faint. And in time Julie Andrews, however engaging, seems no Guinevere, as Robert Goulet, however nice his voice, was never Lancelot; and King Pellinore becomes a chattering burden in the court and Morgan le Fay a darting disaster in the forest. Richard Burton, playing Arthur with a touch of inwardness beyond the call of musicomedy duty, alone ever seems three-dimensional-which only stresses how pasteboard are all the others and un-Arthurian is everything else...
Unreal City. Boston, in the view of its Broadway visitors, is a city as unreal as Morgan le Fay's forest, consisting of just a few buildings and a couple of dozen cabs.

Porritt, Librarian, said, "We can only hope for the best...
...Thomas Peebles, assistant in his lab at Children's Hospital in Boston, whether he would like to take a crack at measles. Peebles would and did. First he needed some measles virus to work with. He thought he was getting it from measles-stricken students at the Fay School in nearby Southboro. But his first cultures turned up only cold-sore viruses or nothing at all. Then, from the blood and throat washings of David Edmonston, 11, son of a mathematician in Bethesda, Md., Peebles cultured what proved to be the virus of measles. If the vaccine based...
