Of course! Remember, this was the era when Bufferin ads showed those little
A's and B's racing through the sanitized guts of a neuter mannikin, and also
when Disney and the AEC collaborated on *Our Friend, the Atom*--one of the
most effective domestic propaganda pieces since Leni Riefenstahl's *Sieg des
Willens*. Radiation was *good* for you! Why, it would even cure *acne*!
