Tele-Communications Inc., the nation's largest cable operator, completed a deal yesterday to carry Fox's planned 24-hour news cable channel in 10 million homes when the channel starts up this fall. The deal, in which TCI was granted an option to acquire a 20 percent stake in the channel, gives Rupert Murdoch's incipient Fox news service a base from which to challenge both the entrenched Cable News Network, a unit of the Turner Broadcasting System, and the other impending challenger in the cable news arena, MSNBC, which is owned by NBC and the Microsoft Corporation.

But anyone looking for fiery political messages in Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi's column, "Letter From Burma," which is being distributed by Universal Press Syndicate, will find instead mostly tranquil and reflective musings about her Rangoon childhood and the problems of keeping up an old house. Only at the close of some columns does she take a gentle jab at the junta that rules her country.

The Isolyser Company said yesterday that it had renegotiated its $106.5 million acquisition of Microtek Medical Inc. to guarantee that Microtek shareholders receive Isolyser stock worth $16.50 a share. The deal includes the assumption of $19 million in debt. The companies said the ratio of Isolyser shares to be given to Microtek shareholders was changed because the value of Isolyser stock had fallen about 37 percent since the agreement was announced on March 18. The earlier deal between the medical supply companies said that Microtek could halt the sale if Isolyser's average trading price fell below $13. Isolyser stock rose 68.75 cents to close at $11.6875, and Microtek rose $2.25, to $15.
