Some analysts speculate that valid or not, the impulse to protect Pius crippled the Vatican's March statement We Remember, a long-awaited and ultimately somewhat tepid repentance for Christian treatment of Jews up to and during the Holocaust.

"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 to proclaim his innocence...
