...Alzheimer's is not that simple. One especially telling case: Sister Bernadette (not her real name), who had shown no outward signs of Alzheimer's and whose youthful autobiography was rich with ideas and grammatical complexity, turned out at death to be riddled with the plaques and tangles of Alzheimer's (see diagram). Says Snowdon: "Lesson No. 1 in my epidemiology training is that there are hardly any diseases where one factor alone, even in infectious disease, will always cause illness...

In this configuration, two compartments, one in the parlor and another in the bedroom, extend outward when the bus is parked. So with the touch of a button the width of the bus swells from 8 ft. to 11 ft. That feature will cost you an additional $300,000 or so--or enough to buy a couple of Ferraris, if you were so inclined...
