The View From The Cloud At The Winter Olympics

Temperatures here in Montreal have once again settled into the low negative 30s. Rather than complain, we embrace the cold and head outside. And this year, it?s with the added benefit of getting ready for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

We feel personally connected with the event, and, for me, this extends to issues of security. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to talk with Juliette Kayyem, a professor who teaches on homeland security at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
