MARKETPLACE ROUND-UP

          In Chicago, George Lazarus notes "in a stunning move
     Friday," Chicago-based Leo Burnett's two top execs "resigned
     under pressure."  William Lynch submitted his resignation as
     President & CEO and James Jenness resigned as Vice
     Chair/COO.  The agency has been "beset by client problems,"
     losing key clients recently, including the creative portion
     of Miller Brewing Co.'s Miller Lite account (CHICAGO
     TRIBUNE, 3/22).  The agency has also "struggled" with other
     clients, including Reebok Int'l (AD AGE, 3/23)....In
     Chicago, the TRIBUNE's Genevieve Buck examined Chicago's
     local celebrity restaurant-retail scene.  At Michael
     Jordan's restaurant, the most expensive retail item is an
     autographed Jordan jersey, at $1,100.  An average of five a
     month are sold. The Jordan retail shop makes almost $5M in
     annual revenues (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 3/23).
