Tim, you wrote< Of course, the story is pure nonsense. > If you remember the Fortune article on Case/Pitman, it talked over and over again about how Aol will do anything, to increase their share price. It also talked about the Aol PR dept making the Nazi propaganza team, look tame. Aol leaks the AT&T rumor, knowing that in corporate America AT&T, best response would be ' We don't comment on takeover speculation' Result, Aol today reaches record highs. Never short this stock, these guy's have got it down to a science.

FT shows abysmal ignorance: 06/18/98 AT&T/AOL: The logical package? Financial Times AT&T WorldNet, with inferior infrastructure, faces new competition from MCI and Sprint ventures. AOL is the obvious quick-fix. ft.com Triple Duh!! - Worldnet's infrastructure is AT&T - AOL doesn't own any telecom infrastructure - MCI already has agreed to sell its backbone business and is being forced by the European Commission to sell the rest of its Internet business in order to merge with Worldcom And by the way, the $32 billion price reported by FT is just 13% less than WCOM is paying for MCI!
