At the core of this debate is Chairman Gerald Levin,56,who took over for the late Steve Ross in1992.On the financial front,Levin is under pressure to raise the stock price and reduce the companys mountainous debt,which will increase to$17.3billion after two new cable deals close. He has promised to sell off some of the property and restructure the company,but investors are waiting impatiently. The flap over rap is not making life any easier for him. Levin has consistently defended the company s rap music on the grounds of expression.In1992,when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice-Ts violent rap song Cop Killer,Levin described rap as a lawful expression of street culture,which deserves an outlet. The test of any democratic society,he wrote in a Wall Street Journal column,lies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude,however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be. We won t retreat in the face of any threats.
