I've been tending to apply "enough to illustrate the article", and reducing higher resolutions to 300x300. (I suppose a particularly remarkable aspect of a particular cover could do with higher resolution on a case by case basis.)
"Case by case" is a lot of work, and a recipe for abuse. Care to make 300x300 a firm rule? As an example: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/67/Pepper%27s.jpg That's 325x325, and while you can't make out the fine details, it's sufficient for our purposes. We could always have some cropped closeups of some of the faces.
I wouldn't go in and shrink a 325px image :-) I would, however, shrink a 1000px image that doesn't have any particular reason to be that high resolution.
