Default OT- the upside of nuclear war

So would you like to have only four toes on your feet, like is the case
of my left one?
Well, don't worry...with a nuclear war we can evolve humanity at a rate
you wouldn't believe!
From Mechanix Illustrated, December 1955, O. O. Binder (Otto Binder, as
in the sci-fi author?)
Shows us the possible upside of nuclear fallout:

And how we can create a _real_ race of eggheads:

These must be the guys that build all those cool buildings you see in
Star Trek TOS matte paintings, judging by the background.
But looking at those insignia on their chests, what Binder isn't telling
us is that these guys are gay! And they certainly dress the part, don't
they? :-)
