To take a look at whats on supermarket shelves, to see that sanctions are having an affect on the lives of ordinary people. The other day i noticed that sparkling wine from crimea appears to have vanished from my local supermarket in berlin, not that i miss it. Bit sweet for my taste. But of course thats rather a frivolous example compared to the economic hit whole industries have taken, from polish apples to german heavy machinery. But as trade ties start shifting, there are others who are turning the sanctions to their advantage, including salmon farmers on the Faroe Islands. Reporter hedin is happy with his lot. Although hes not much of a talker like many fishermen, or rather exfishermen. These days he works on a salmon farm. Normally, we start at 8 00 in the morning. Its a steady job. You know what youre going to earn and that youre going to get your money. Fishing was an unreliable business sometimes you had a good week.

That big. Im going to negotiate a very dangerous set of rapids this morning. The professor at Georgia Southwestern State University who is married u in fact torks one of my employees, dr. Glen robins, he says and i agree completely, generally, you can either talk about andersonville or the other military prisons of war. It becomes emotionally difficult to try to do both. I hesitate to use the acronym p. O. W. In a civil war context. Its a 20th century term. And i wliek to talk about. So it tends to slow me down a lot. Fall outside of the traditional heroic narrative of the war. And, again, you lose objectivity very quickly the longer you stay down in the wreckage of the war. Andersonville is the most famous of the military prisons. Its a long way from the rest of the civil war world, both literally and figuratively, the prison site was chosen on purpose 150 years ago to be as remote and as insulated a place in the confederacy far from perceived locations battle.
