I just love the way our language is so subjective. To you, the lack of THE is clumsy. I love the way it sounds.
That's why I love literature and especially the different reactions to a book or something as simple as a title. Hate it, love it, but we are never indifferent.

Well, like I said; I defer to her judgment on that one - she is the one famous for a good turn of a phrase or coining a phrase; as such she is the professional with an “ear” for such things.
I am a bit bookish and high falutin in my vocab and usage: Palin has the ‘common touch’.

What about the great term “flag and country?”
No “the” necessary.
