30 years ago, Derek Jarman's daring film called Blue came out. Vinod Kostlom immigrated to America in 1976. He was at the time of pretty limited means. I couldn't move to the US unless Carnegie Mellon paid for my education. A new study not only shows that horses are getting faster, there's more genetic gains to be made.
They lead startups, giant corporations, even countries: people of Indian origin are finding great success outside their home country—and wielding much influence inside it. On its 30th anniversary we revisit Derek Jarman’s film “Blue”, finding it to be a sound-design masterpiece as much as a daring cinematographic experiment. And examining whether breeding racehorses has hit a genetic limit of speed.
