'MAKING A BETTER WORLD'; SWIMSUIT EDITION FIRST STEP IN AOL/TIME WARNER
GLOBAL SOCIAL AGENDA 

The deal still may be months away from being realized, but the fruits of
the proposed merger
between America Online and TIME WARNER are already being tasted.

Under a mutual agreement, AOL will have exclusive rights starting Monday
to give its 21 million  members a sneak peek at the cover of this year's
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue!

"We have an unbelievable opportunity to really make a difference, not
just in terms of the services people use, but also in terms of the kind
of impact we can have on society," AOL head Steve Case declared after he
announced his marriage to TIME WARNER.

"This notion of a global interconnection can actually be used for a very
good social purpose," agreed TW's Gerry Levin. 

"This merger is not just about big business. This is not just about
money. This is about making a better world for people because we now
have the technology and the instruments to do that."
