But in Michigan, the differing response to Ms. Granholm’s order is part of a broader and, perhaps, more universal wrangle over how to commemorate tragedy when there is so much of it and whether lowering the flag each time a soldier is killed cheapens the tribute by doing it too often.
Since the start of the Iraq war, more than half the states have decided to lower their flags for 24 hours or more when a local soldier dies in combat.

Woody Allen directing an opera? In Los Angeles? It's set to happen in September 2008, according to Placido Domingo who's general director of the Los Angeles Opera.
REPORTER: The New York filmmaker is scheduled to direct "Gianni Schicchi," part of a trio of one act operas by Puccini.
REPORTER: “Gianni Schicchi" is set in medieval Florence. It's Puccini's only comedy. Allen says he has "no idea'' what he's doing. But he jokes that incompetence has never prevented him from plunging in with enthusiasm.
REPORTER: Domingo says he's often asked movie directors to try their hand at opera. He says he'd been after Allen for four years.
