What's in a flag? To George Balanchine, who is as symbol-minded as the next choreographer, a flag stands for the ritualistic, pride-bearing side of a nation. How and why the repetitious pace of ritual should be transformed into dance are questions that Balanchine alone seems able to answer. In Stars and Stripes (1958), he made a brilliant humoresque out of close-order and other U.S. military drills. In his latest creation, the hour-long Union Jack, he has come up with a visually stunning, three-part divertissement that masses the clans, changes the guard and salutes...

But the former did not judge it convenient to overthrow him, convinced as they were that without him it would be hard to find another single objective at which to direct...
...symbol been entirely shorn of substance. Any Prime Minister has to take seriously the monarch's right to advise and warn. Though Anthony Eden ignored Elizabeth's judgment that Britain should not make its disastrous 1956 Suez intervention, and was himself ruined by that adventure, the Queen strongly influenced Harold Wilson's decision to stop short of sending troops in countering Rhodesia's declaration of independence in 1965. Comparable governmental decisions have reflected the judgment of the Dutch and Belgian monarchs, and may possibly be seen in Spain in the future. In any event, both the ceremonial and less apparent...
