At the core of this debate is chairman Gerald Levin, 56, who took over from the late Steve Ross in the early 1990s. On the financial front, Levin is under pressure to raise the stock price and reduce the company's mountainous debt, which will increase to $ 17.3 billion 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. In 1992, when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice-T's 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 when we face any threats."
Levin would not comment on the debate last week, but there were signs that the chairman was backing off his hard-line stand, at least to some extent. During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month's stockholders' meeting, Levin asserted that "music is not the cause of society's ills" and even cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York, who uses rap to communicate with students. But he talked as well about the "balanced struggle" between creative freedom and social responsibility, and he proclaimed that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution and labeling of potentially objectionable music.
The 15-member Time Warner board is generally supportive of Levin and his corporate strategy. But insiders say some of them have shown their concerns in this matter. "Some of us have known for many, many years that the freedoms under the First Amendment are not totally unlimited," says Luce. "I think it is perhaps the case that some people associated with the company have only recently come to realize this."
An American senator criticized Time Warner for
A.its raising of the corporate stock price.
B.its self-examination of the soul.
C.its neglect of social responsibility.

No company likes to be told it is contributing to the moral decline of a nation. "Is this what you like to accomplish with your careers?" an American senator asked Time Warner executives recently. "You have sold your souls, but must you corrupt our nation and threaten our children as well?"At Time Warner, however, such questions are simply the latest manifestation of the soulsearching that has involved the company ever since the company was born in 1990. It's a self-examination that has, at different times, involved issues of responsibility, creative freedom and the corporate bottom line.

听力原文:W: Hi, Bill! I just heard about your aunt Kathy's death. I am sorry.
M: Thanks, Nancy. We will really miss her.
W: I know. She was so nice to you.
M: Yes, she was so nice to the whole family. You know, she even left Barbara and me a large sum of money.
W: Oh, really? What do you plan to do with the money?
M: I have no idea. I never thought of having such a big fortune.
W: You might want to talk to Jeff Hunter, my broker, about investing some of it. As a broker, he can help you. The brokerage firm he works for is one of the best in our country.
M: That's a wonderful idea.
W: Have you ever had experience in investment?
M: Oh, yeah. Actually, I already have a small stock portfolio. Barbara and I own some shares in four large companies.
W: That's great. And I am sure you will get some good advice from Mr. Hunter. And perhaps he can also give you some information on tax policy.
M: Thanks. But why do I need to know the tax policy?
W: You know that you will have to pay estate taxes on the inheritance?
M: I could hardly forget about it.
W: So Mr. Hunter would be able to advise you about your taxable income, and perhaps he can suggest some tax shelters for you.
M: It's very kind of you. But I am still worrying that I do not have enough money to be a speculative investor.
W: Well, my broker can give you the latest information in all areas of the stock market, not just in investment for speculation.
M: That's great then. I hope to talk to him because I am thinking of increasing my dividends from stocks.
W: Maybe he will suggest some currently active stocks for you to invest in. He also handles municipal bonds, the income from which is tax-exempt. Talk to him soon, here's his phone number.
M: Thanks a lot!
