PLUGGED IN.

NOT JUST FIT TO PRINT: The New York Times began publishing daily on the World Wide Web last week, offering readers around the world immediate access to most of the daily newspaper's contents. The New York Times on the Web, as the electronic publication is known, contains most of the news and feature articles from the current day's printed newspaper, classified advertising, reporting that does not appear in the newspaper, and interactive features including the newspaper's crossword puzzle. The electronic newspaper - at http://www.nytimes.com is the newest of dozens of papers available to a global audience on the Internet.

ACCESS DENIED: Germany's biggest Internet provider last week cut access to neo-Nazi propaganda posted on a California computer - and nearly 1,500 other services there ranging from financial services to "Santa Claus Online." Computer users accused Deutsche Telekom, the national phone company, of overreacting and said such action could stifle the free flow of information that the Internet was meant to foster. Technical limitations forced the blockage of the nonoffending sites on the server run by Web Communications in Santa Cruz, Calif., along with the Nazi material.

RANDOM ACCESS

BATTER UP: The Seattle Mariners' six-time All Star Ken Griffey Jr. was suited up last week with computer sensors by technicians in Carlsbad, Calif. Griffey's movements, including his swing, home-run trot and fielding, were being recorded for development of a video game for Nintendo's Ultra 64 system.
