Camelot
(see also Jackie)

John F. Kennedy was portrayed as a loyal family
man, standing arm in arm with his wife Jackie and shoulder to shoulder with his brother
Bobby, ready to lead the nation toward a new frontier in which American ideals
would triumph. It was a vision of cold-war leadership that came to be enshrined, after his
death, as Americas Camelotnoble and glamorous, even mythic.

Deconstructing Camelot
Camelot was the most famous castle in the medieval legends of King Arthur, and where,
according to legend, he reigned over Briton before the Saxon conquest. At Camelot Arthur
established a brilliant court and seated the greatest and most chivalrous warriors in
Europe, the Knights of the Round Table. Camelot was the starting point of the Quest for
the Holy Grail, and by the 1200's, it came to symbolize the center of the Arthurian world.
