...houselights dim in the Garrett Coliseum in Montgomery, the ! ringmaster's voice rattles the rafters: "Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages! Producer Kenneth Feld proudly presents the 119th edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, the Greatest Show on Earth! Take one! We're rolling! Lights! Camera! Action!"

The old cliches have been aired yet again about Giants fans partying on Chardonnay and quiche in Candlestick parking lots while A's adherents settle for beer and bratwurst at the Coliseum. San Franciscans sneer at the drug problem in "Cokeland," and last week Mayor Art Agnos took arrogance to new heights, initially declining to make the traditional World Series bet with his Oakland counterpart, Lionel Wilson, because "there's nothing in Oakland I want...
