For the record

Correction: Because of editing errors, several facts were incorrect in the special section on Pope John Paul II in Sunday's editions. A timeline included the wrong date for the pope's death; he died on April 2. A photo caption misdated the year of the pope's inauguration; he became leader of the church on Oct. 22, 1978. And Time Magazine, not Life Magazine, carried the headline ''John Paul, Superstar."
