    Multiple people had to okay that.

    Did they though? Back in the 70s? I wasn’t alive so this is a real question, but "Okay"ing things before publishing feels more recent than that. Especially in something like high times.

      According to someone else in this thread it was written by the founder and owner, as well. You can still publish weird predatory shit about a tween now, although you’d probably try to stay anonymous.

      If anything more people would’ve had to okay the article in the '70s because back then people still had to do manual typesetting and layouts, with specialists assigned to those roles, rather than writers being able to put together a finished article on their desktops like today.

      I also wasn’t alive, but tons of people okayed this. I don’t understand how her parents not only pushed her to be a model, but found the right people to fight over the legal “right” to keep and distribute photos of a 10-year old that if you saw them today would send you straight to jail. Or get you an appointment as a cabinet secretary, I’m not sure if you’re a millionaire or not.
