Lots of ballyhoo about ballet who and where

Article Abstract:

The Royal Ballet faces many challenges as it prepares to spend two years at Labatt's Apollo in Hammersmith, London, England, while the Opera House in central London is renovated. Its officials are trying to present the temporary move as an opportunity to gain new audiences, but it is clear that they are concerned about losing existing audiences. The main problem with the new venue is that it does not offer any of the glamour associated with a trip to the ballet.

Is it some sort of identity crisis? Why else would a grown man want to festoon his person with the alphabet?

Article Abstract:

Many people seem to like having goods which bear a monogram. This is particularly the case with men, who often have monogrammed briefcases, cufflinks, shirts, rings and similar items. Monograms were traditionally used on the plate and linen owned by the aristocracy, but are now seen on almost all types of consumer goods. Some observers claim that this is a sign of social insecurity.
