...vague and antiquated crazy quilt that has been haphazardly stitched together over the last 75 years. They fear that Orrick will be emboldened by the U.S. Supreme Court's decision fortnight ago to break up two big mergers-one between a pair of banks in Lexington, Ky., and the other between two pipeline companies-even though the deals already had the approval of other federal agencies. And they considered even more ominous Orrick's declaration last week to the American Bar Association that he is willing, like some of his predecessors, to attack "previously accomplished mergers or acquisitions...

Pioneer (odds: 15 to 1) is a son of Preakness and Belmont Stakes Winner Nashua; Jug (20 to 1), of the famed stud horse, Alibhai. Both are being groomed for the Derby in classic Calumet fashion-slowly, gently, painstakingly. To Owner Markey and Trainer Jones, winning the Kentucky Derby in the past has always been more an affair of honor than of money. "I would rather win the Derby than all the races in the world," says Mrs. Markey. This year, she may have...
