...genomes of Tutu and an indigenous Bushman from Namibia were decoded by an international team of more than 50 scientists for a study published this week in the journal Nature.

Riders say horse sharing is a relatively inexpensive way for a young person to move from a once-a-week lesson to a bigger commitment, and it works for owners too. Computer consultant Kate Bushman, 40, of Boylston, Mass., will half-lease her aging Thoroughbred to a thrice-weekly rider and buy a horse suitable for jumping competitions. After a layoff eliminated her six-figure salary, she says, "I can't justify paying for two horses." A stall and food at a stable with a winterproof...
