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鈥檚 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 鈥楾he Interview鈥� gets plenty right about North Korea. And the hackers behind CryptoWall 2.0 get greedy about ransoms.
