They're not nearly as 'big government' as you paint them to be. They're one of the most respectable publications that is highly critical of the war on drugs and Asian state capitalism.
Possibly they have changed, though the last few times I've leafed through at the Admirals club it seemed the same old stuff - the delightful (minute examination of the political changes in an African country so small you need a BIG map to see it) and the predictable (America needs to get moving on its safety net!).
Perhaps your definition of big government is merely different than mine. I'm more of a pre-FDR government guy. Heck, I'd take pre-LBJ and count my children lucky. -XC PS - I agree with you on the legal drug stance. They seem to see no issues with the situation in, say, Holland and wonder why we won't buy into that particular route.
