...that the most famous artworks have a way of turning up, although sometimes not for years. Meanwhile, they can make appearances in surprising places. There's even an art-world in joke in Dr. No, the 1962 film that introduces James Bond. On a wall of the evil doctor's Caribbean hideaway, you can spot Goya's portrait The Duke of Wellington, famously stolen the year before from the National Gallery in London. So far, though, there is no sign of The Scream version taken last year, not even in the movies. --By Richard Lacayo
...happening in their own country. I feel that TIME's Cooper and New York Times reporter Judith Miller have done their job as journalists, which is, of course, to truthfully report the news.

A gardener at the University of Cape Town, Naki got his start as a lab assistant when a doctor needed a hand while operating on a giraffe. Naki's skills ultimately led Barnard to request his help in the landmark 1967 transplant. In 2003, 12 years after Naki retired, officially still a gardener, the university gave him an honorary degree in medicine...
...Some families have tried to turn back history. Martini's parents are Syrian, her father a doctor who finished his medical degree in the U.S. After 9/11, the Martini family went to the United Arab Emirates. "We weren't welcome here as Muslims," she says. "And my parents wanted my brother and me to experience an Arab culture." The experiment lasted only a year. "It was not as Muslim a country as we thought," says Martini. "There's lots of Western influence. And we missed our relatives here...
