Don Imus' show, and now the magazine has its brand to consider in deliberating whether to allow its people to joust once again with the embattled radio host, says

Jon Meacham. "At the same time, he's on serious probation here. It's a very big deal. We take this seriously. Imus appears genuine about changing
the tone, but if there's any backsliding, then it's over as far as we're concerned."
