...pottery go back to the late 5th or early 6th century A.D. The newly found ramparts and decayed posthole matter have yet to undergo close analysis, but experts guess that they also date from the Arthurian period. If further scrutiny proves those estimates correct, skeptics may be forced to harbor the notion that the hill site was quite possibly the site of Camelot-a somewhat less opulent Camelot, of course, than Julie Andrews and Richard Burton inhabited.

...Down to Size. Such biographical details, competently researched, make good reading. But Leonard Mosley, a columnist for the London Daily Express, pads his story needlessly. He speculates on whether Hirohito could have prevented Pearl Harbor. Mosley says yes-but that the Emperor's advisers cleverly avoided giving him complete information until it was too late. Chances are, however, that Hirohito could not have prevented the war, since for all practical purposes he was a prisoner of his own warlords...
