Prophecy preacher Jack Van Impe, his flighty, high-pitched wife Rexella, and their gravel throated, trumpet playing announcer Chuck Ohman, are a fire and brimstone dream team. Their’s is low-budget television evangelism at its best/worst.

Based in Detroit, they were a staple of Canadian television growing up. Van Impe used the bible to predict the future and explained each week how the bible had forecasted the week’s headlines.

Some of Van Impe’s most famous sermons were in the 1960s when he railed against the devil music of Herman’s Hermits and the MC5.

They’re still cranking out an episode each and every week. All three of them are almost 90 years old.

Miss Atomic Bomb, 1957 Atomic Test, Yucca Flat, 1953

“The atomic test series was a wonderful thing for Las Vegas in terms of publicity. Not only did we publicize the bomb with photos and anything we could, but all of the national press, international press were here for weeks on end … we had Miss Atomic Bomb, a cheesecake picture of a girl in a bathing suit with cotton in the shape of a mushroom cloud …. what could be more frivolous than that? We just didn’t realize the seriousness of what was going on.” - Don English, Las Vegas News Bureau.

There was no “Miss Atomic Bomb” pageant, no contestants, and no winners or losers. The photo was pure publicity, one of a series of photos by Las Vegas News Bureau aimed at getting the Las Vegas into the national news.

A previous photo captioned “Miss Atomic Blast” (Candyce King) had been a PR success for Bureau photographer Don English in '52. This was followed by “Atomic Ballet” photos, a “Miss Cue,” a “Miss Radiation,” and others.

The model for Miss Atomic Bomb was Anna Lee Mahoney, Sands Copa Girl who used the stage name Lee A. Merlin. Her identity was unknown until 2025.
