We establish negative results about "rectangular" local bases in compacta. For example, there is no compactum where all points have local bases of cofinal type ��x ��_2. For another, the compactum ����has no nontrivially rectangular local bases, and the same is consistently true of ����\ ��: no local base in ����has cofinal type ��x c if ��< m_{��-n-linked} for some n in [1,��). Also, CH implies that every local base in ����\ ��has the same cofinal type as one in ����. We also answer a question of Dobrinen and Todorcevic about cofinal types of ultrafilters: the Fubini square of a filter on ��always has the same cofinal type as its Fubini cube. Moreover, the Fubini product of nonprincipal P-filters on ��is commutative modulo cofinal equivalence.
