Olympic Security Costs, Empty Seats, Chinese Athletic Dominance
Tom Brokaw and Mayor Boris Johnson discuss the massive security costs and economic hopes for the London Olympics. Dvorak points out that many venues appear two-thirds empty on television because prime seats are reserved for the "Olympic family" and corporate sponsors who are not attending. They also note the suspicious dominance of Chinese swimmers, jokingly suggesting they might be "robots."
