The Chicago-based Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, founded in 1945 as a publication by nuclear physicists worried about the possibility of nuclear war, expressed their concern about the Rosie-Trump brouhaha by moving the fabled Doomsday Clock forward to three minutes to zero. The scientists' announcement left little doubt that they see the brutal smackdown between Mr. Trump and Ms. O'Donnell as the most likely harbinger of Armageddon. "Clearly, if either Rosie O'Donnell or Donald Trump obtained nuclear weapons, the world would be burnt to a crisp," said Stephen Hawking, the famed cosmologist and mathematician.
