Early last week Hannaford Bros. Corp., which operates close to 300 supermarkets in New England and Florida, announced that cyber-thieves had compromised more than four million of its customers’ credit and debit card numbers over a four-month period beginning last December.... Read more

How do you stay in touch with your friends? Seems like everyone uses the Internet these days — to send email, share photos and send messages on social-networking sites such as MySpace or Facebook.... Read more

Barack or Hillary? Approve the city budget or vote it down? Demolish the Moran plant or develop it? By the time you read this, we’ll know what the voters chose. Unfortunately, Seven Days goes to press before the polls close. So we can’t announce the results of this exciting election.

Peter Freyne is on vacation this week, so instead of his regular political coverage, we present a selection of election-related commentary from the Exit Voices blog, http://www.vermontcam.org/exitvoices.... Read more

Norwich resident Jeff Doyle is not really anti-capitalism, he assures. He doesn’t want to bring down Civilization As We Know It. He just wants to create a conscientious, post-consumer community — a “gift ecology, rather than economy,” he suggests.... Read more

BRATTLEBORO — Small-town rumor mills have always churned out juicy gossip. But when these often-personal grumblings make their way into the local media, they can sometimes turn into lawsuits.
