...weren't picking them for their breast size." (Such is the definition of classiness in guy culture today.) And the publisher, known for such upscale glossies as Vogue, GQ and Gourmet, was inflamed by Maxim's voluptuous numbers but too squeamish--and fearful of losing high-end advertisers--to bare all. "We learned that we are an upmarket publisher," says Truman. Or, as a former editor puts it, "they couldn't fully embrace the gutter."
