The Yankees have notched 25 world championships in the better part of a century in the Bronx; the Mets just two since their inaugural season in 1962. The Yankee pinstripes are a sports icon; the Mets' blue-and-orange were themselves a knockoff, a combination of Dodger blue and Giants orange, two teams that with the Yankees defined the Subway Series from the first in 1921 to the last in 1956.

"You can't have...
Alan Bennett's The Madness of George III opens shortly after England has lost its American colonies and shows the Establishment gone amuck. The King is mad, the Prince of Wales is scheming to displace his father, the Queen and the Prime Minister are determined to keep him in power and a host of incompetent doctors and parliamentarians wander in and out of the center stage. Politics as usual...
