Review:

"The truth is, the �Alaska National Wildlife Refuge� vote is merely a small part of a larger...neoconservative attitude that has a...fundamentalist belief in the End Times, in the Apocalypse. Don't believe it? Have yourself a nice read of famed journalist Bill Moyer's delicate, excellent essay "Welcome to Doomsday" via the "New York Review of Books," which brings in all the numbers and data into a beautifully articulate essay on the state of the American religious landscape..-"The San Francisco Chronicle"

Praise for Moyers:
"Bill Moyers speaks for, and to, the conscience of our nation."--Walter Cronkite
"Bill Moyers believes with his very heart-bone in the interchange of ideas, in individuals speaking out. . . . And he is, in a very real sense, a man of faith: of faith in America.ames Dickey, "The New York Times"
"Not only a good reporter... a first-rate storyteller."-"The Boston Globe
""Bill Moyers is doing what Madison and Jefferson desperately hoped the press would do -provide information ... so that the people would be informed enough to enable constitutional democracy to survive."- --JNat Hentoff
