This one came close to that. "I'm a Hermann German," proclaimed a large button pinned to a medium-size woman waving from a small platform as the World Series Special pulled into Hermann, Mo. She was the only absolute partisan spotted in a week. Across the state, everyone decked out in red or blue appeared to have either a touch or at least a tolerance of the other color.

By 2006, there won't be a single Routemaster left on the capital's roads. But London 's loss could...
