Even as executives from NBC News and Microsoft were holding an elaborate news conference yesterday to kick off their MSNBC cable-television and Internet service, which they said heralded a new world of news delivery, MSNBC fell victim to some old-world glitches. Computer users were not able to sign on to the Internet component of the service for at least an hour after the network was switched on yesterday at 9 A.M. As a result, MSNBC's anchors on the cable channel found themselves promoting on-line features that no one could see.

A heavy bronze plaque hangs above the Coke machine in the lobby of the Detroit Teamsters headquarters here on Trumbull Avenue, up the road from Tiger Stadium. It memorializes the locals that built the glazed yellow-brick building in 1941, and the Newspaper Drivers and Handlers Local 327 is one of them. "A lot of the locals on that plaque are gone," said Alfred P. Derey, secretary treasurer of Local 327. "But we're still here."

Former Senator Bob Dole's Presidential campaign has stumbled so badly that 7 in 10 Americans -- and nearly half of those who say they plan to vote for Mr. Dole in November -- expect him to lose to President Clinton. That is one of the more intriguing findings of a new New York Times/CBS News Poll, taken last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It suggests that Mr. Dole's persistent troubles are beginning to affect morale in his party. A total of 979 people, 743 of them registered voters, were interviewed for the survey, which had a sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.

Jose Maria Aznar won election as Spain's new Prime Minister last March in part by convincing voters that he had thoroughly modernized his right-of-center Popular Party, ridding it of all nostalgia for the anti-democratic practices of the Franco dictatorship. Now he will have to convince them once again following the heavy-handed firing of Spanish Television's New York bureau chief, Jose Martinez-Soler, and four other correspondents. The Aznar Government says it dismissed Mr. Martinez-Soler to save money. But it looks like reprisal for a campaign interview last February in which Mr. Martinez-Soler embarrassed Mr. Aznar with a pointed reference to the Popular Party's right-wing old guard. If the impression of retaliation is left to stand, it will have a chilling effect on other journalists working for Spanish state television.

The Oracle Corporation plans to provide details today about its strategy for software that would allow corporations to build intranets, following both the Microsoft Corporation and the Netscape Communications Corporation. Based on Internet technology, intranets permit corporations to distribute information more efficiently to employees and to build corporatewide messaging and conferencing systems. Oracle executives said the company, based in Redwood Shores, Calif., had an advantage in such areas as the distribution of video and text retrieval as well as database retrieval and transaction processing. Computer-industry analysts believe that the market for corporate intranets will be at least as lucrative as the current Internet market.

The Regis Corporation said yesterday that it would buy the discount haircut chain Supercuts Inc. in a stock swap valued at about $150 million. Under the deal, each Supercuts shareholder would receive four-tenths of a Regis common share, or about 4.6 million shares total. Supercuts stock rose $1, to $9.75, in Nasdaq trading after reaching a 52-week high of $11.375 earlier. Regis's shares plunged $6.641, to $26.359. Regis, which has 1,950 hair care salons worldwide, plans to operate the San Francisco-based Supercuts, which has 1,168 United States stores, as a separate unit. Regis expects to take a one-time charge against earnings to account for the acquisition.

In announcing Representative Susan Molinari as his keynote speaker for the Republican National Convention, Bob Dole picked someone tonight who, political party aside, is nearly his complete opposite. He is from the farmlands of Russell, Kan., and she is from Staten Island. He made his career in the Senate, while she has been in the House. He is 72 years old, and she is 38. He is against abortion rights, while she is not. And, of course, -- and perhaps most important -- she is a she.
