...doctors was a logging accident. The accident was later revealed to have occurred in a New Zealand prison, where Hallam had been serving a two-year sentence for fraud. "Embarrassed as they might have been, the surgeons had no grounds for canceling the operation," says TIME correspondent Michael D. Lemonick. "A criminal past is no reason to deny someone medical treatment -- even a treatment that is purely experimental." Hallam will get to raise his new hand in an Australian court next January when he faces seven more fraud counts -- that's if he doesn't use his new fingerprints...

...Small and distant though it may be, this star is no ball of gas. It's a solid chunk of nuclear material known as a magnetar -- the existence of which has never been proved before. "These things were only predicted six years ago," says TIME senior science writer Michael Lemonick. "The predictions weren't taken seriously at first; it just didn't make sense." In fact, what physicists scoffed at turns out to be one of the most energetic objects in the universe -- a form of neutron star left over from a supernova, so tightly packed that its magnetic field...
...sounds pretty scary," says TIME science writer Mike Lemonick, "but scientists knew that the ban on ozone-killing chemicals that went into effect in 1996 wouldn't show any results for a while. The chemicals released before then will take a while to be cleared from the atmosphere, and until they are they'll keep destroying ozone. The destruction should ease off, with ozone levels rebounding over the next few decades." Meantime, let's hope NASA scientists remembered to pack their...
...TIME science correspondent Michael Lemonick points out that this shaggy dog story may go on and on. And on. Indeed, "it's silly," says Lemonick. "In the other cloning experiments they tried many times on many animals with many failures. In this case the chances are quite slim." Lemonick says that in the wake of the mouse cloning success, many other initiatives are being pursued that, while less cuddly than the second coming of Missy, actually have far more practical applications. "There's much bigger money to be made in cloning sheep," he says. But when was the last time...
