Policy on Advertising
A few of the ads in this magazine express ideas that many find untrue, embarrassing, trashy or low-class—and sometimes all four. Why do we accept them for publication, especially because they are so few among our many fine advertisers? Not for the money, but for the principle. That principle is the same principle that infuses the Free Speech clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. That freedom applies not only to what we agree with and find congenial, but also to the ideas we vigorously disagree with, the ideas that embarrass us.
