A picture on Page 1 of Sunday's newspaper under the heading ``Gay
Rights'' was of former Navy Lt. j.g. Tracy Thorne, an aviator based
at Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach who publicly declared
his homosexuality in 1992. He has since left the Navy. The picture's
caption referred to Lt. j.g. Richard ``Dirk'' Selland, a deputy
director of the Fleet Industrial Supply Center in Norfolk, who is
still in the Navy and fighting efforts to separate him from the
service.
