After nearly two years of speculation about a possible sale of NBC, John F. Welch, the chairman of the General Electric Company, told staff members of NBC News yesterday that the network was not for sale. The announcement was intended to stanch rumors of an impending sale that have dogged NBC, a division of G.E., and have contributed to a steep decline in morale among employees. Robert C. Wright, the president of NBC, said, "This was General Electric saying: 'We're in this for the long haul.' "

GENERAL NONFICTION Garry Wills "Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words That Remade America" In "Lincoln at Gettysburg," a scholarly study of oratory, Garry Wills argues that Abraham Lincoln, in the mere 272 words of the Gettysburg Address, was able to recast the tradition of oration, the Civil War, and the history of American political thought in a new and clearer light. In offering new ideas about the structure and context of the speech, Mr. Wills maintains that Lincoln used his words to win the war in ideological as well as military terms. The 58-year-old Mr. Wills, a classical scholar, Presidential historian and political scientist, is an adjunct professor of history at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., where he lives. FICTION Robert Olen Butler "A Good Scent From a Strange Mountain" In Robert Olen Butler's first collection of short stories, "A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain," each of the 15 intricate tales is told in the first person, from the viewpoint of different Vietnamese transplanted from the Mekong Delta to the Louisiana bayou. Haunted by the past, and highly ambivalent about their American hosts, these fictional immigrants seek truces in their various personal wars, and their stories raise the literature of the Vietnam conflict to an original and highly personal new level. Mr. Butler, 48, served as an Army linguist in Vietnam, which was the setting for three of his six previous novels. His first novel to be published, "The Alleys of Eden," was printed by Horizon Press after the manuscript was turned down 21 times. Mr. Butler teaches fiction writing and film theory at McNeese State University in Lake Charles, La.

In a statement, Lifeline dismissed an effort by Timothy M. Aitken, Abbey's chairman and chief executive, to elect a Lifetime director as "another example of his unwillingness to offer Lifetime shareholders a full and fair price for their company."

Hillenbrand Industries said yesterday that it was in talks to sell its American Tourister luggage-making unit. Hillenbrand declined to name the potential buyer or the asking price. The company, based in Batesville, Ind., said that it had retained Morgan Stanley & Company to help evaluate options. Analysts said they expected the company to complete a sale within two months. American Tourister had about $100 million in sales last year, about 7 percent of Hillenbrand's $1.43 billion total. The unit has been hurt by weak business travel and sluggish consumer spending.
