Free Republic

Umberto Eco started working a novel that set the world's imagination on fire "prodded by a seminal idea: I felt like poisoning a monk." The Italian author and academic who intrigued, puzzled and delighted readers worldwide with his best-selling medieval thriller, "The Name of the Rose," died at home in Milan on Friday evening after a battle with cancer, according to a family member who asked not to be identified.

Please forgive the vanity. I'm looking for a New Republic article named "The Name of the Rose" written by L.J. Davis. After Googling, sources led back to Free Republic, but all subsequent linx are deleted. At TNR's website, it says that this article has been deleted. L.J. Davis was the chap that got cold-cocked on his noggin in Little Rock, AR, in 1994 after writing this column. Richard Poe referenced this article at World Net Daily. Anyone know where I can get it? Googling has come up short (surprise, surprise). Thanx.
