why on yellowstone? because there's a huge dormant volcano which if it erupted could cause immense damage. so his brilliant idea was to use a nuclear bomb to trigger that volcano know and, thereby, destroy the united states. now, this, i believe, is bluster. simply bluster. the question though is why does the russian government believe it is reasonable to encourage such bluster? that's the context i'm talking about. and the context is something that is very serious. we need to be concerned about it. let me go on then to the accidental nuclear war. as i said, we still have the launch on warniing we still have the context we need to be concerned about today just as during the cold war. to be clear, i think the danger of a nuclear war by accident or by miscalculation is lower today than it was during the cold war. happily. but beyond that, we have two new possibilities of a nuclear war which did not exist during the cold war. one of them, obviously, is nuclear terrorism which i place as a very high probabil

for those of you who don't know, our national park system began in 1872 with the establishment of yellowstone national park. the organization charged with managing these parks, the national park service, was established four decades later in 1916. today we have over 400 national parks and historic sites around the country, all full of wildlife, beautiful -p landscapes and rich culture. these sites are all cared for by over 20,000 dedicated employees of the national park service, including park rangers who patrol our parks and keep visitors safe. arkansas is home to several national parks and national historic sites, some of the prettiest and most interesting in the country, in my opinion. for those of you who haven't been to arkansas, i encourage you to visit hot springs national park to see our natural springs and thermal pools. if you're a history buff, you can visit arkansas post, the site of the only revolutionary war activity in the state of arkansas. if you're into the outdoors you can float the buffalo river. the list goes on. each of the national parks and historic sites in arkansas a

it imagines the yellowstone national park will be renamed trump national park.the ideas section editor katie ki s kingsbury told me. she said what we're trying to do is take an exercise and using donald trump's own words. it says our goal is to create a conversation about what a donald trump presidency could look like. now, obviously, martin, this comes from a point of view. this is from the editorial page which is separate from the newsroom of "the boston globe." still, though, i'm sure some people look at this and say it's another example of liberal media bias. the editors say they are just trying to get people to focus on what trump has actually said. perhaps when we focus too much on bickering, back-and-forth, personal insults, maybe we don't pay as much attention to the quotes trump has given. that's what they're trying to do. >> i get that. it could be very effective. is there going to be a ted cruz front page or bernie sanders front page? >> on page 2, they have a long op-ed that says that trump must be stopped. but then they also say that ted cruz would
