Brattleboro Citizens’ Breakfast Invitation
The Brattleboro Selectboard held a mostly happy meeting Tuesday night.

Lately I’ve been running into lots of examples in movies, stories, and books of sexual harrassment of women in show business. It’s just rampant. Of course, my media sources aren’t from the present day — the present day is too depressing. I’ve set the dial back to about the turn of the century through the 1930s.
