Occupational Hazards
An American clergywoman in Paris promotes the healing power of silence.
We meet the Rev. Mary E. Haddad, an American priest who comforted New Yorkers after 9/11 and now is comforting Parisians after the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Plus, the story behind the New Yorker magazine’s bloody tribute cover to the murdered cartoonists. And an Indian-American writer wonders how much his lighter-skinned daughter understands about race.
The US Army gets serious about cyberwarfare. And the film ‘The Interview’ gets plenty right about North Korea. And the hackers behind CryptoWall 2.0 get greedy about ransoms.
