As per Slate.com’s Today’s Papers
The NYT's "Sunday Styles" section profiles 25-year-old John Buffalo Mailer, who in addition to being Norman Mailer's son and one of People's sexiest men alive, has recently been named executive editor of the marijuana fanzine High Times. In his new post Mailer is attempting to broaden the magazine's focus beyond its parochial roots, and he hopes that the revamped product—if not quite the Granta of ganja—will at least gain respectability and a wider audience: "With the new High Times we're using [marijuana] as a metaphor … So it's not a magazine about pot, it's a magazine about our civil liberties, and our tag line is `Celebrating Freedom.' Our feeling is it's patriotic to be in High Times."
