There was a stupid incident last week at the Crossgates Mall in Guilderland, N.Y., where a 61-year-old lawyer and his son put on T shirts that read PEACE ON EARTH and GIVE PEACE A CHANCE, and were ordered by mall security guards to remove the shirts or leave. The lawyer refused, and was charged with trespassing. At high schools across the country, some students were threatened with suspension if they cut classes in order to participate in antiwar demonstrations.

Forrester Research asked Web shoppers how they found the site where they made their most recent online purchase, and a mere 2% said "portal or Internet mall." The majority, 62%, went to the site directly. So if portal shoppers aren't buying, what are they doing? They're absorbing marketing messages that will influence future purchases, both online and at traditional bricks-and-mortar stores, says Lisa Strand, e-commerce director at Nielsen/NetRatings. That's why eyeballs still...
