From the international bestselling author of Virgins comes this amusing take on the sexual politics and high seriousness of the Kennedy years. A young White House reporter's progression from personal ambition to general public spirit is brilliantly arranged against a history of improving civil protection under the law and the first stirrings of American participation in Vietnam. Camelot is the story of Mary Springer, an up-and-coming White House reporter from a tiny Belvedere, MD, newspaper who is-by the expectations of 1963-way before her time. After dazzling up an acquaintance with Leader Kennedy when assigned for the White House on her behalf newspaper, Mary's personal and professional lives converge once she becomes involved in an emergency when city organizers want to raze a generally black area and build luxury flats. While Martin Luther King Jr. prepares to march on Washington, racial assault erupts in Belvedere and the president tragically moves about his last days. Working beside Jay Broderick, a charismatic shooter, and Don Johnson, a gifted young black man recently delivered from the independence rides to the South, Mary finally links with the spirit of liberty and egalitarianism that are the legacy of the Camelot years.
