how much money do you think you ll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i m going have to rethink this thing. it s hard to imagin how much we ll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. one of america s top counterterrorism officials says there is a substantial potential for a terror attack outside the olympics in sochi, russia. not on the olympic grounds themselves. the games begin in a little more
than a week from now. the director of national counterterrorism gave that warning during a wide ranging senate hearing on global threats to americans. the biggest issue from my perspective is not the games themselves, the venues themselves. there s extensive security at those locations. the sites of the events. the greater threat is to softer targets in the greater sochi area and in the outskirts beyond sochi. extremists have already vowed to attack the winter games. but russian security officials say they ve built what they call, excuse me, a ring of steel around the olympic grounds. organizers also say sochi is the most secure venue on the planet. what else did u.s. officials say about the russians at today s hearing? well, shep, the fbi director james comby saying the cooperation is getting better since the boston attacks. certainly not implying it s where it should be with the russians. one of the other themes today is
