Did the story appear?

I looked for a cover story in a "major newsmagazine" about Limbaugh, and I came up with this: http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19950123,00.html

Now, the incident may be simple bluster, bragging about what a tough guy he is and how he can get his way against these lily-livered liberals. If it took place the way he describes it, it's a class A felony to make those implied threats.

Might be interesting to phone up those writers and ask them if anything of the sort happened.

Really, our right wing has to learn that if they behave like mafiosi, they will be slapped down. (A political, free-speech thought entirely; no threats, implied or otherwise, were employed in the writing of this letter.)
