Summary

The boys discuss the scene in Boston on Marathon Monday before turning to the war in Iran that continues to grip the world. Even if it ended today, the conflict won't have been resolved in time to forestall a disastrous energy crisis. The lads then address the bizarre list of missing scientists that's gaining traction in the news. Finally, Nate shares some quotes from historian Will Durant about the cyclical nature of history.
