APOCALYPSE NOW

THE 60 MINUTES/VANITY FAIR POLL

Forgive us if we appear a bit jumpy the coming elections seem to be filling us with apocalyptic dread. We know, we know: it doesn't help to wony. Some of us, remem bei; were convinced that the Mayans believed it was all going to end four years ago. (Maybe we wish it had.) It's hard to separate the end of the world from politics. Re publicans are inclined to see nuclear war as our final act. Democrats wring their hands over climate change. For Wh the religious right, the Rapture remains a distinct possibility. Most ,Americans think the book of Revelation offers the best guide to what lies ahead. So it makes sense that a Bible is what we'd want alongside us in those final moments (along with our families). But if we make it into a post-apocalyptic world, a doctor would be handy. As for what species it would be best to leave off of some future Noah's Ark, 13 percent of us, perhaps wisely, cite our own.
