It's not "politically correct" or - as Orwell would say - "orthodox" or "goodthinkful" to compare the White House during Kennedy's presidency to Camelot, the famous castle in the medieval legend of King Arthur. But I believe a comparison can be made, and future additions to this section of Orwell Today will develop that premise.

There certainly is an OPPOSITE of Camelot, which is what we're living in now. The descent to our present unromantic world commenced with the unchivalrous act that killed our modern-day King Arthur, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
