By KATHLEEN ADAMS, DANIEL EISENBERG, IRENE GASHUROV, ANITA HAMILTON, JANICE M. HOROWITZ, NADYA LABI, BARBARA MADDUX, CINDA SILER AND JOEL STEIN

MARRIED. PRINCESS CRISTINA, 32, unassuming, athletic daughter of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain, and INAKI URDANGARIN, 29, pro handball star; in Barcelona.

EXTRADITION REFUSED. Of SAMUEL SHEINBEIN, 17, fugitive American high school senior accused of killing and dismembering a teenager in his Maryland neighborhood; by Israel, which claimed Sheinbein as a citizen because his father was born in British-ruled Palestine. That decision, however, is being re-examined.

SOLD. SUE, the most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever recovered, to Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History; at an auction in New York City. The winning bid of $8.4 million was financed partly by McDonald's and Disney. DIED. JEROME LEMELSON, 74, prolific inventor whose more than 500 patents include the bar-code scanning technology used by stores and factories around the world; of liver cancer; in Los Angeles. He spent years in legal battles with corporations over his patents, won millions in settlements, and used the money to endow a $500,000 annual prize for inventors.

DIED. NOBUO FUJITA, 85, the only Japanese pilot to drop a bomb on the U.S. mainland during World War II; in Tsuchiura. In 1942 Fujita embarked on a top-secret mission to create a huge conflagration in southern Oregon by firebombing its forests. Flying a tiny pontoon plane, he failed miserably, sparking only a minor brushfire.

DIED. MURRAY BURNETT, 86, unsung co-author of the play that became Casablanca; in New York City. Burnett sold Everybody Comes to Rick's to Warner Bros. for $20,000; though three screenwriters later won the Oscar for Casablanca, Burnett was ignored.

DIED. A.L. ROWSE, 93, authority on Elizabethan England and Shakespeare; in Cornwall, England. Known as much for his cranky self-assurance as for his scholarship, Rowse wrote scores of books, including a three-volume The Annotated Shakespeare. "This filthy 20th century," he once said. "I hate its guts."
