Last year a sacroiliac condition began to bother Atkinson. Three times in the last eight months he had to give up his mounts and rest. Fortnight ago at Florida's Tropical Park, the pain became unbearable. Last week, at 42, on the advice of his physician, he retired. Said he: "I guess I've been around the world a couple of times on horseback in the afternoon. Maybe that's enough...

Consequently, when a fraternity brother named Bert offered to wise him up, he listened appreciatively. "You ought to move to Virginia," said Bert. "They don't pay any federal taxes over there. You only have to pay 'em if you live in the District or work...
