...Liberty Coach, packs a remarkable apartment into the shell instead of fitting it with seats. The electronics mimic those of a space station. When the bus is parked and the time comes to picnic in the shade, the driver presses a button, and a large awning unfurls and extends outward from the roof. If the wind kicks up, sensors detect danger and refurl the awning...

Despite its utterly normal outward appearance, the Rhesus monkey known as ANDi bears an extra gene taken from, of all creatures, a jellyfish. And while so-called transgenic animals have been created before, this is the first time such a species-mixing experiment has been performed on a primate, the class of animals that includes...
