However, Katharina and her kindly lover, Dr. Bonfila Bezhukhovna Bonch-Bruevich (Marisa Echeverria '00), also make for an intriguing couple. Bonfila's sincerity and maturity don't match up particularly well with Katharina's crass horniness, but one can sense the sparks in their "opposites-attract" relationship, thanks to a surprisingly passionate lighting and musical love sequence.

As a result, search and commerce sites like Yahoo and chief rival Excite have become gateways (the Net buzz word is portals) to the rest of the electronic universe. And owning a portal is looking a lot like owning a toll bridge. Yahoo charges about 4[cents] for every ad it serves up on many...
