Interesting that I'm reading this on 4/28 but the article's timestamp is 5/2. Did they publish early by mistake?

No, it's a preview of an article appearing in this upcoming Sunday's NY Times Magazine (5/2). Bottom of the page reads: "A version of this article appeared in print on May 2, 2010, on page MM38 of the Sunday Magazine."

I love the past tense for a future event.

So will I.
