Official Shivers. Protagonist, last year's two-year-old champion and early Derby favorite, had not won a race since November going into last Saturday's Stepping Stone Purse at Churchill Downs. Agitate took the California Derby two weeks ago, but could not finish better than third at the Santa Anita Derby several weeks earlier. When there seemed to be a chance to narrow down the Derby field in the Wood Memorial in New York in mid-April, that race had to be split into two sections to handle the overflow of entrants. One winner, Rube the Great...
Typical of the new games is Pong*, a popular version of electronic table tennis manufactured by two-year-old Atari, Inc. (estimated fiscal 1974 revenue: $14 million) of Los Gates, Calif.

The troupe is a two-year-old touring cooperative with more promise than polish. Its rules are truly democratic: all decisions about repertory and casting are made by vote. Butto keep chaos from the door -the director of each production has the usual artistic control. That divided authority may explain the unevenness of the fare. The blasted heath of King Lear would seem to be a British company's natural territory; instead, Shakespeare provides their...
...doctors' unions have been able to accomplish their aims without taking to the picket lines. Indeed, doctors generally find the idea of a strike unthinkable. "When someone's sick, you have to treat him," says Dr. Kenneth G. Burton, a general practitioner who heads the two-year-old American Physicians Union, which is headquartered in San Antonio. But it is not inconceivable that U.S. physicians may some day take part in a walkout. Says Yount: "The ultimate weapon of any organization is the threat of withdrawal of services...
