What's In A Name?

<body>
<p> A lot, at least for the 2 million residents of Macedonia. For
more than a year, Greece has blocked this newly independent
nation, with its capital in Skopje, from joining the U.N. by
arguing that its name implies a territorial claim on a province
of northeastern Greece also called Macedonia. The two sides have
now struck an acceptable, if somewhat ponderous, compromise:
Macedonia will be admitted as the Former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia. Its flag, which Greece considers an emblem of
Skopje's claim to Greek Macedonia, will be barred from flying
at U.N. sites.
