Enaam Arnaout is not an especially rich man. Yet every time the Syrian-born director of the Benevolence International Foundation, an Islamic charity, visited Bosnian offices over the past few years he would withdraw the same sum from a local bank: $50,000 in neat notes, 10 times in two years, or up to half a million bucks since 2000. Then the money would disappear. "We have no idea where it went," Ivica Misic, head of Bosnia's antiterrorism commission told TIME. He has his suspicions, though.

That NASA was able to recover from that failure and give us the Hubble of today may be one of the space agency's greatest legacies...
...later perusal. These windows tend to clutter up my desktop and get in my face. But Mozilla's "tabbed-browsing" feature lets me open those new windows behind the page I'm currently reading; when I'm ready, I just bring them to the front by clicking on neat little manila-folder-style tabs.
