Clinton, to her credit, threw $5 billion for weatherproofing and retrofitting into her stimulus package, but it was an afterthought.

"Apocalypse means destruction, and the whole world ends. In my book, I show how beautiful things could get?and how quickly?if we weren't around. How things revert to wilderness, almost like the Garden of Eden." (The History Channel's Life After People, which airs Jan. 21, has essentially the same premise...
