Phoenix New Times Article Prompts Goldwater Family to Seek File Closurenew
The heirs of the late Sen. Barry Goldwater are in a dudgeon over a recent cover essay, the alt-weekly reports. Stephen Lemons' "Goldwater Uncut" included details about the Republican icon's bawdy, hard-drinking lifestyle that didn't make it into an HBO documentary. Lemon's source: the Goldwater family's own correspondence from an archive established by the senator in 1959 with no restrictions on public access. The Arizona Historical Foundation has temporarily blocked access to part of the documents at the request of family members.

NOW and Then: Toronto's NOW Magazine at 25new
Twenty-five years ago today the first issue of the Canadian alt-weekly hit the streets. In a look back, founders Alice Klein and Michael Hollett revisit the early days and their original vision of engaging the local community and capturing a cultural life missing from other media. It was a venture they didn't take lightly. "Marrying a loud, opinionated social consciousness with entrepreneurialism was like going to the dark side in those days," Klein writes.

Bay Guardian Says Web Site Hacked Again
For the second time this year, the San Francisco Bay Guardian weathered an election-day assault on its Web site, according to Executive Editor Tim Redmond. The trouble started about 10 p.m. Monday night, when server traffic spiked by several million requests per minute. With extensive election coverage and candidate endorsements, the Bay Guardian might be targeted by any number of city and state political foes, Redmond says. But since a similar attack on June 6, the paper installed new servers and beefed up its bandwidth capacity. "The good news is that we were expecting them and successfully fended them off," Redmond says.
