	Well, apparently Mr. Royko claims that his Newpaper Guild
contract provisions override those in his contract with the Sun-Times,
and that he is therefore free to jump to the Tribune.  Not knowing the
legal relationship of the Newspaper Guild and the Times & Tribune, I suppose
it's difficult to figure out just what that means.

	In any event, one day last week the Tribune ran a new Royko column 
while the Times recycled an old one; and the lawyers all met in court.  
The preliminary ruling was in favor of Royko -- don't remember specifically 
what court this was in, but I seem to remember that it was a Cook County
Circuit or the like...

	Can't blame the man for jumping ship, after seeing what Murdoch
has done to papers elsewhere in the U.S....but I suspect that the Big Court
Battle has just begun.
