Marc Thiessen's 15-year national security career has taken him from Capitol Hill to the Pentagon and the West Wing, where he served on the White House Senior Staff as chief speechwriter to President George W. Bush.

How vulnerable is our nation to another terrorist attack today? Thiessen will discuss at this lecture in Tech Square, open to the public.
