...just wish there were 52 more with me." So said freed I U.S. Hostage Richard Queen last week, after descending wearily from a C-141 StarLifter at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, B.C. Leading the well-wishers were Secretary of State Edmund Muskie and Queen's younger brother Alexander.

The story is a love triangle; yet, the nature of that love is never articulated. Does Queen Guenevere (Christine Ebersole) love King Arthur (Burton) for the sweet reasonableness with which he wishes to foster justice and peace?
