- RECOVERING. Pope John Paul II, 72, after a four-hour
- operation to remove his gallbladder and a benign tumor from his
- colon; in Rome. Biopsies taken before and during surgery showed
- the growth was not malignant; a pre-op CAT scan revealed stones
- in the gallbladder. Doctors said the Pope's distress had no
- connection to injuries sustained in 1981 when Mehmet Ali Agca
- shot the Pontiff in the abdomen during an assassination attempt.
