Hot Teen
Back when I was a kid, Time Magazine played the Beatles to Newsweek’s the Stones and, on an international arena (I was living in Lebanon), they were important reads as to the view of the world via the USA. when I first came to the States (in 1975) I was most shocked by the ads in Time Magazine, they were so, well, American. It was a thrill.
