...bombings in Bali and the bombing of the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta this month. Two weeks ago, Hambali moved into a one-bedroom apartment in Ayutthaya, Thailand, a tranquil, mainly Buddhist town one hour outside Bangkok. He may have hoped to lie low for a while--and, perhaps, plot his next lethal strike. Earlier this year Hambali's former boss, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed--once the No. 3 official in al-Qaeda and now in custody--told interrogators he had given Hambali about $50,000, a U.S. intelligence official told TIME.

According to a U.S. intelligence official, an al-Qaeda detainee told the U.S. that Hambali had been trying to recruit pilots for a 9/11-like plot that might have involved suicide hijackings, but it is not known whether the captive was telling the truth and, if he was, when or where the plot would have taken place.

...cowboys, Charley (Costner) and Boss (Robert Duvall) in 1882, caring for their herd and each other, wandering into town and into trouble. It is peopled with the usual suspects: the corrupt sheriff (James Russo), the mean rich guy (Michael Gambon), the warm, weathered spinster (Annette Bening). The plot is basically a real-estate wrangle: whether Boss and Charley have the right to graze their herd on land claimed by the rich guy. And there's a lovely interlude with Charley and the spinster, where the cowboy has to recall gentlemanly codes of conduct (picking up clods of earth that...
