Although there are exhilarating moments of spectacle or significance, there are also logistical nightmares, frustrating stretches of tedium and constant weariness. John Paul II's ten-day U.S. tour was among the most demanding ever for TIME journalists. A five-member TIME team began shadowing the Pope upon his arrival in Miami on Sept. 10.

A week apart, only the fourth and fifth major leaguers ever suspended for malfeasance on the mound have received ten-day sentences.
