Abstract:
The FBI is interested in individuals participating in the anti-war movement. Durham resident Kosta Harlan was one of many anti-war and international peace activists recently targeted during raids by the FBI. All of the targets have two things in common: they oppose the wars in the Middle East and are critical of US foreign policy regarding Colombia and Palestine. Area experts discuss the current raids and the government’s reasons for carrying them out.

Abstract:
Some farmers in North Carolina are switching from traditional crops to prawn aquaculture. Joe Thompson made the switch after he got injured and could not maintain a tobacco farm. Organizations like the Rural Advancement Foundation International-USA and the Golden Leaf Foundation are helping area farmers transition from tobacco farms. The farming of prawns yields a high profit with a low cost of labor and many area restaurants are eager to prawn’s on their menus.
