New Yorker is an easy sub from their web site, ambo, in print, digital or both.
I've now found something that perhaps I'll try as it looks as if it's the kind of thing I had in mind. Laphams Quarterly. Anyone else tried it?
Oh, btw, thanks for the Scientific American idea. I do look at that from time to time (but I don't much like Time) and the Smithsonian magazine often has the odd snippet of interest too.
Lot of American bias here of course, which is why I was hoping for something British, but looks at first sight from this thread as if there's nothing mainstream I've missed.
Edit. They've sold me with this anecdote from an earlier issue. I love it.
As a young man, he was totally asexual,†Luis Buñuel recalled of Salvador DalÃ, elaborating in a parenthetical comment, “Of course, he’s seduced many, particularly American heiresses; but those seductions usually entailed stripping them naked in his apartment, frying a couple of eggs, putting them on the women’s shoulders, and, without a word, showing them to the door.
