...party, but Bicentennial ceremonies continued through the week and will go on for some time to come. The magnificent tall ships that so enthralled New Yorkers raised anchor and headed toward more than a dozen cities, including Boston, Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles. Ten U.S. cities played host to Queen Elizabeth II, blood descendant of the last British monarch to reign over the colonies. Elsewhere, Revolutionary War battles and other historic events will be commemorated through the rest of the year...
Nothing, of course, could have been further from the mind of Queen Elizabeth II last week, when she paid the most glittering courtesy call of the U.S. Bicentennial-a five-day visit to the former colonies of her great-great-great-great-grandfather, George III. Still, she noted, while the events of 1776 may have severed constitutional ties between the two countries, the rupture "did not for long break our friendship." She went so far as to thank the American founding fathers for "a very valuable lesson." Said the Queen: "We learned to respect the right of others to govern...
Making her second state visit to the U.S., the Queen came ashore with her husband, Prince Philip, and an entourage of more than 50 from the 412-ft. royal yacht Britannia at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia.

Under a gleaming white canopy and with TV cameras recording the event (see SHOW BUSINESS & TV), 224 guests gathered in a dazzle of diamonds and a cloud of pastel-tinted chiffon and crepe. Among them were Lady Bird Johnson, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Telly Savalas (star of Kojak, the Queen's favorite TV program), Olympic Skater Dorothy Hamill and White House Economic Adviser Alan Greenspan, who escorted TV's Barbara Walters...
...exhibition not to be missed is Red Grooms' walk-through, gloriously zany sideshow at the Marlborough Gallery (40 W. 57th St.) titled Ruckus Manhattan (TIME, Jan. 19), a coarsely affectionate tribute to this battered queen of American cities, in spirit somewhere between Lenny Bruce and Rube Goldberg. Farther down the block at the Allan Frumkin Gallery (50 W. 57th St.), a group of artists, among them Ceramist Robert Arneson and Painter Peter Saul, are poking none-too-gentle fun at the patriotic excesses of the Bicentennial. The Brewster Gallery (1018 Madison Ave.) has a solid group of more than...
