Under the terms of the deal, MCI and Microsoft will jointly develop and market an array of on-line and Internet services. Microsoft said it had chosen MCI as the primary distributor of its commercial on-line service, the Microsoft Network. And MCI said it would promote Microsoft's Internet software and browser throughout its network.

WHEN it comes to gulling the news media, Joey Skaggs is an undisputed pro, the Willie Sutton of the counterfeit news release. During the last 28 years, Mr. Skaggs has concocted more than a dozen phony stories and has had them covered by newspapers, magazines and television. When it comes to unmasking himself, however, Mr. Skaggs seems to lose his deft touch, becoming less Willie Sutton than the hapless bank robber played by Woody Allen in "Take the Money and Run."

Senator Bob Dole blamed the press today for a new poll that shows him trailing Steve Forbes, the wealthy publishing heir, in the Republican Presidential primary in New Hampshire.

But somehow, they don't seem to bother him. They'd rather focus on Bob Dole the front-runner."
