"We are not bust-up artists." He also said he would maintain the editorial independence and integrity of Time's books and magazines. "Not only will we maintain editorial independence," Davis insisted, "we will demand it." Journalists at Time Inc. were concerned because, reassuring as such statements made in the heat of battle...
