...suit rocks the very foundation of the Internet: the unhindered cross-linking of related sites. Microsoft launched the first of a series of local Internet guides to the arts, Seattle Sidewalk, with a Ticketmaster link that allowed customers to buy event tickets via computer, bypassing Ticketmaster's home page. Sales soared, but Ticketmaster was unappreciative. Microsoft ought to add an irony link; it was the Seattle band Pearl Jam that accused Ticketmaster of monopolizing rock-concert ticket sales.

DIED. MIKE ROYKO, 64, caustic Pulitzer-prizewinning columnist who ruled the Windy City from his Page 3 pulpit; after surgery for an aneurysm; in Chicago. From high-society dames to low-down pols (a frequent target was former Mayor Richard J. Daley), no one was safe from Royko's pen, including himself, as he learned when minorities protested his tactless quips. But Royko remained unrepentantly irreverent in his column...
