epending on when you read this, I’m either in the process of covering this year’s SXSW Buffalo Lounge in Austin, face-planting in the middle of Sixth Street from exhaustion, or recovering at an undisclosed remote location.

This week, while the rest of the issue of LOOKatOKC celebrates the March 25 arrival of the fifth season of “Mad Men,” I am at Friends, 208 E 6 in Austin, doing live coverage of the Oklahoma Film and Music Office’s Buffalo Lounge, shooting episodes of Static, Tweeting and filing daily news stories from the event, all sponsored by CNGNow.com.

Most people I know get on the road early on March 13 to get through the (theoretically) sevenhour drive, endure the expanding snarl of Austin traffic, throw their gear down and head to the club. Breaks are kept to a minimum in order to arrive at Friends by 4 p.m. for the Oklahoma Film + Interactive + Music event. Hosted by the OKPOP Museum and the Woody Guthrie Center and Archive, the three-hour show will feature performances by Modern Rock Diaries, Desi and Cody, Wink Burcham with Jesse Aycock. After a short refueling break, we head back to the stage for the CNGNow.com-sponsored Okie Soundcheck at 8 p.m., featuring O Fidelis, Black Canyon, Mont Lyons, Pretty Black Chains, DEERPEOPLE, Josh Sallee, Daniel(s), and Chrome Pony.

LOOKATOKC EDITOR

By Wednesday morning, most Buffalo Loungers GLANG@OPUBCO.COM BLOG.NEWSOK.COM/ can tell if they’ve been wearing good shoes, STATICBLOG because this is a standing marathon. You have to wear something comfortable, and like they tell people in boot camp, don’t lock your knees, because it all starts again at noon March 14 with the “Sax, Clogs & Rock-N-Roll” set featuring the Damn Quails, Scales of Motion, the Panda Resistance, BrotherBear, Feathered Rabbit, S/Awesome, and Denver Duncan with Jabee. Then ACM@UCO commands the proceedings for its 8 p.m. showcase with Defining Times, The Boom Bang, The Non, Horse Thief, Broncho, and Stardeath & White Dwarfs, leaving you to stumble out at 2 a.m. with a pleasant ring in your ears.

Austin has great street food at any time, and during SXSW it is bountiful — you have to stay nourished and hydrated or the face-plant will happen, and falling out before the Buffalo Lounge’s final day would be tragic, beginning at noon March 15 with the ACM@UCO Music Day, featuring Painted Wolfe, Fos, Day One, Brianna Gaither, Gum, paperscissor, The Rockettops, and Of the Tower. The Buffalo Lounge wraps perfectly with the Oklahoma Showcase, featuring Green Corn Revival, Junebug Spade, Fiawna Forte, Jacob Abello, JD McPherson, and OK Sweetheart.

The key is to stay healthy, stay strong and keep your ears open. I might need an intravenous drip after it’s all said and done, but the videos, Tweets and Static episodes at static.newsok.com/sxsw will be proof that the entire endurance test will be worth it.

No commercials here, just TV talk T

o celebrate this televisionflavored LOOK@OKC, I polled several locals in hopes of discovering what they watch when they swap guitars for remote controls. I didn’t get any “Mad Men” moments but I heard plenty of interesting choices. So, don’t touch that dial because this column is commercial free. >>> Penny Hill (solo, Low Litas, Samantha Crain): “Roseanne” tops Penny Hill’s list. The ABC series spanned nine seasons and was one of the most watched shows in the early ’90s. The show’s combination of gross and cute made Hill a fan. “It’s like comfort food to me,” Hill said. “It’s my mac ‘n cheese of TV shows, my milk ‘n cookies at midnight. Watching is a pretty mindless experience, but Roseanne’s distaste for just about everything is absolutely hilarious to me.” >>> Jabee Williams (rap/hip hop artist): Jabee’s favorite show growing up was the ABC dramedy “Boy Meets World.” When Jabee was in the 5th grade, he imagined 6th grade would be just like the show. “I went to Moon Middle School, and the first thing I remember was cops and metal detectors,” he said. “It wasn’t anything like ‘Boy Meets World’ but I still liked that show.” >>> Tommy McKenzie (The Boom Bang, Chrome Pony): Punk guitarist Tommy McKenzie is a fan of every dietician’s worst nightmare, “Man vs. Food.” The Travel Channel series follows foodie Adam Richman as he tackles the world’s craziest food challenges. McKenzie digs the episode where buffalo wings covered in ghost chili pepper sauce almost kill Richman.

“Adam basically lives out any dare you would challenge your buddies to,” McKenzie said. >>> Brianna Gaither (singer/songwriter): During Brianna Gaither’s senior year of college, she watched “Arrested Development” with her roommates as a form of escapism. The Fox sitcom suffered from poor ratings, but it’s popularity has boomed and the powerhouse cast will reunite for a <<<

movie in the near future. “Sometimes if it was too cold outside, we would skip our classes, put on some coffee and have an all-day marathon,” Gaither said. “This show played a part in some of my best memories in college.” >>> Beau Jennings (Beau Jennings and the Tigers, Cheyenne): Beau Jennings discovered the NBC football drama “Friday Night Lights” while living in Brooklyn. Jennings has even crossed the fourth wall and met Kyle Chandler, who plays Coach Eric Taylor on the show. “Being a high school athlete from the Midwest, I immediately identified with the premise and fell in love,” Jennings said. “Perhaps out of some kind of homesickness.”

The TV madness just doesn’t end there…

Brian and Laney Gililland of O Fidelis shared some childhood television memories. When Brian was young, he watched “The Andy Griffith Show” and lived in a neighborhood resembling Mayberry. Laney was a fan of “The Simpsons” because her mom didn’t approve of her watching it. She felt grown up when she sneaked away to watch it.

Although rapper Josh Sallee’s favorite show is “The Office,” he has gotten into Comedy Central’s “Workaholics.”

He said he likes that the show’s main characters do the writing and shoot the episodes in a house they lived in.

Something a little more for the ladies would be a Tom Collins. It has a lighter taste:

M

ad Men’s fifth season airs March 25...finally. After a long hiatus, this season premiere deserves a nice Mad-Men themed party, but in order to do so there are a few details you need for that shindig. You need the right classic cocktails, 60s music, and proper attire.

You’re going to need gin, bourbon, bitters and some Maraschino cherries for these cocktails starting with a cocktail Don Draper might drink - an Old Fashioned.

You’ve got the ingredients, but the aesthetic is just as important. Just ask Betty Draper Francis. Your guests will want to enjoy their delicious cocktails in beautiful drink ware. Martini glasses, tall Tom Collins glasses, and smaller tumblers.

Now that the most important aspect of the party is taken care of, let’s move onto what to wear. Chances are you can find something in your closet that will work. Girls should wear A-line dresses in florals or bold colors. Cardigans, higher neck lines and threequarter sleeves for the ladies will look authentic. Suits are a must for the men. They can wear a skinny tie, plaid blazer or possibly a cardigan. Clothes from the 1960s have made a return partly due to the television series. In fact, The Mad Men inspired clothing line is back now at Banana Republic. You may have picked something up for their fall collection, but if not, you get can make a trip to buy the Spring one. Whatever you decide on, do not wear jeans.

You’re now on the right track to a fab Mad-Men themed celebration, but a party isn’t complete without food. A Jello mold on the table will create the 60s mood, although I’m not sure how many people will dive into it. Heavy hors-d’oeuvres will do. Deviled eggs, shrimp cocktail, lamb kebabs, a cheese ball, and the classic caesar salad were all staples in the 60s party kitchen. For dessert try a Baked Alaska. Yum! Decorations are the next step. Pick up a few vintage Life magazines. Half Price Books, Records, Magazines, Inc. has a lot of old magazines. Cool vintage ashtrays and, my favorite, candy cigarettes will make for some fun items. Sugar might be bad, but it beats nicotine. If you want something more detailed, you can download Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce logos from amctv.com.

While a Mad-Men party might be about the 60s era, the show captivates us not because of the history, but because it’s taking a different perspective of a world we’ve only seen in the movies through a foggy glass.

Sure, James Bond, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Psycho show the darker side of the 60s, but it’s Mad Men that takes a more realistic approach into sixties-era advertising, feminism, racism, and chauvinism. <<<

STERLING COOPER DRAPER PRICE REOPENS FOR BUSINESS Like any great advertising campaign every recent television series that created unreasonable fanaticism among its viewers did so thanks to two essential ingredients: the surface shine and the underlying message.

Sure, it was possible to watch and enjoy “The Sopranos” just for the thrill of seeing who would be “whacked,” but those who never caught on to the deeper psychology and sociology of David Chase’s mob drama experienced less than half of a great show.

True “Lost” acolytes quickly surmised that the show was never really about finding a way off the island, and the sociopath comedy of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” spent nine seasons rising to the surface in the otherwise loveable “Seinfeld” characters.

“Mad Men,” which starts its fifth season on March 25, began as a nostalgic look at Madison Avenue advertising in the early 1960s — the pilot concerned a brilliant but morally shifty ad executive and the

drinks-on-the-job male-centric culture that created the dominant media messages of the 20th century. But within a few episodes of its first season, once old army buddies started recognizing Don Draper on the commuter train and calling him “Dick Whitman,” “Mad Men” and its main character became metaphors for advertising and American society. Draper could be anything or anyone he needed to be, depending on who was in the room at the time. Truth in advertising? Don Draper revealed that phrase as a hollow hope.

The first season covered eight months in 1960, the last year of the Eisenhower era.

Sexism in the workplace is a lifestyle, and the rise of Peggy Olson as a formidable player at ad agency Sterling Cooper happens almost by accident and against the odds. The mores of the early 1960s are in full flower — keeping prim appearances is everything, especially when secrets

S E A S O N

F I V E

are hidden behind every door. In its best episodes, Season 1 opened those doors, whether they led deep into Draper’s past or into those places in his present he tries to keep under wraps.

By Season 2, as the Cuban Missile Crisis heats up in 1962, “Mad Men” continued to confront dualities within its characters and the consequences of double lives. The best two episodes of the season, “The Jet Set” and “The Mountain King,” show the real Dick Whitman, unencumbered by his cultivated Don Draper exterior. As Don/ Dick, Jon Hamm did some of his best work in these episodes as the character visibly loosens up in California, temporary free of that carapace of lies he usually carries.

“Mad Men” experienced its most seismic shifts in the third season, as Sterling Cooper is unable to adjust to its new status as a subsidiary of a foreign company and Betty finds Don’s box full of secrets. As a tran-

P R E M I E R E

sitional season, the third year established huge stakes going forward, with Don’s life reaching the brink of implosion and the new reality of the Draper family starting to look like a harbinger of the divorce-heavy 1970s. Actions have consequences in creator Matthew Weiner’s carefully crafted world, and in Seasons 3 and 4, plot points that germinated in the earlier seasons become fully flowering catastrophes.

Because it has such a rich mythology and many subplots and themes to divine, just diving into the fifth season of “Mad Men” is an ill-advised leap. The next several pages include all kinds of spoilers for the completely uninitiated and gentle reminders for the faithful, including a helpful glossary and Season 4 episode recaps.

Order the highballs and a plate of oysters and get ready for 1966.

MAD MEN TO

To narrow down the first four seasons of ‘Mad Men’ into 26 memorable moments and characters is impossible. Some tough choices were made. Think we missed something?

Hit us up on twitter @LOOKATOKC or on facebook at www.facebook.com/LOOKatOKC

BY MATTHEW CLAYTON, STAFF WRITER

A

DULTERY: Just as rampant as alcohol and tobacco use, in the “Mad Men” universe, adultery is a big part of the show. Leading the pack of cheaters are Don, who has stepped out on his wife, Betty, numerous times.

Roger Sterling left his wife for Don’s secretary, while Pete Campbell, Harry Crane and even Betty have all had extramarital flings of their own.

B

ETTY DRAPER: To fully explain who Betty Draper (January Jones) is would involve more pages than we have available. Betty is Don Draper’s ex-wife and mother of their three children, Sally, Bobby, and Eugene Scott. She met Don when she was a model in Manhattan and married him soon thereafter. At the start of Season 4, November 1964, she has divorced Don and married Henry Francis. The last we saw Betty and Don together, they were sharing a drink at their old family home. Having boxed up the last of their shared things, the divorced couple considered Betty’s new life. She was about to move to a bigger home with Henry. “Things aren’t perfect,” Betty admitted of the marriage. “So you’ll move again,” Don says. What a perfect match.

IGARETTES: Wake up, have a smoke. Have sex, another smoke. Pour a drink for yourself, light up another Lucky Strike.

Smoking in the 1960s was as prevalent in society as Facebook and Twitter are today. And Matthew Weiner has used cigarettes as a plot point several times during the first seasons of the series many times. In the pilot, representatives of Lucky Strike cigarettes come to Sterling Cooper looking for a new advertising campaign in the wake of a Reader’s Digest report that smoking will lead to various health issues including lung cancer. Talk of smoking being harmful to health and physical appearance is usually dismissed or ignored. In the fourth season, Draper writes an article for The New York Times called “Why I’m Quitting Tobacco” that announces Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce’s refusal to take tobacco accounts. The finale finds the agency working for the American Cancer Society.

MARCH 17 – MARCH 31

ON DRAPER: Draper is the creative director and junior partner of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. He’s charming, magnificent and amazing but he is damaged. Advertising man Don Draper (Jon Hamm) is as morally compromised as any TV character we’ve seen in a long time. He conceals his identity (his real name is Dick Whitman) from his wife for most of their relationship, and that the identity in question was stolen from a fellow Korean War soldier. We could do an entire issue just on the women he romanced while married to Betty: department-store heiress Rachel, bohemian Midge, Joy from Palm Springs, entertainment manager Bobbie, local schoolteacher Suzanne. Oh, and he’s pretty much responsible for his half-brother’s suicide. All that being said, Don is an amazing character. He’s smart, driven, funny and has the ability to sell just about anything.

E

NDING: It’s been announced that the seventh season of “Mad Men” will be the last one. How will it end? Show creator and runner Matthew Weiner told the New York Times this on March 8 “My plan always, and it’s how I pitched the show to AMC, is let me show the difference between these people at the beginning of the ’60s and the end of the ’60s. You see how adult they are when it starts. But I guarantee you when we look back after the finale, you will say, ‘Look how young they were.’

And you will look back with nostalgia.”

I

LOOKATOKC.COM

F

ASHION: The show reflects the fashion of the era, from pencil skirts to slim suits. The show’s costume designer, Janie Bryant, creates up to 200 costumes per show. Round two of the show’s collaboration with Banana Republic hit stores a few weeks ago. “Mad Men” is a veritable parade of ’60s formal outfits were femininity and elegance were the order of the day. Many top fashion designers such as Peter Som, Michael Kors and Donatella Versace have recognized that “Mad Men” has served as inspiration in their creative process.

G

LEN BISHOP: Glen, played

by Marten Weiner, the oldest son of show runner Matthew Weiner, could possibly be the creepiest on the show. Glen Bishop was first introduced to the cast of “Mad Men” as the young son of the ostracized divorcée on the block, Helen.

He briefly developed a strange infatuation with Betty, which she indulged because of her problems at the time. As for Glen, he seems to have transposed his stalker tendencies onto Sally. He also has a keen awareness that Betty is always unhappy.

H

AM, SUGARBERRY: In episode one of season four, Pete Campbell frets to Peggy about losing the Sugarberry Ham account.

Peggy suggests that they hire actresses to fight over the product at a grocery store.

The ad impresses Sugarberry, increases sales and keep the account, never mind that one of the actresses had her hair pulled out.

J

OAN HOLLOWAY HARRIS: Joan, played

by Christina Hendricks, is one of the many reasons to watch “Mad Men” on a regular basis. She’s a vixen. A sex symbol. A goddess in office-wear. The sexy, saucy office manager at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, is tough, loyal and honest. Need an example of her honesty? In the pilot episode, Joan rocked Peggy with this nugget of honesty: “Go home, take a paper bag, cut some eyeholes out of it. Put it over your head, get undressed and look at yourself in the mirror. Really evaluate where your strengths and weaknesses are. And be honest.”

I

DA BLANKENSHIP: After a drunken tryst with a secretary, Don needs a new one. With her large eyeglasses and gravelly voice, Miss Blankenship is exactly what he needs. Her inability to get anything right is what makes this a perfect match.

When Miss Blankenship dies suddenly at her desk, Cooper contributes to her obituary: “She was born in 1898 in a barn. She died on the thirty-seventh floor of a skyscraper. She’s an astronaut.”

EN COSGROVE: No one really cares about Mr. Cosgrove for most of season four, but his return to the agency could mean good things for the agency and bad things for Pete Campbell. Everyone should like that.

IXON: Doing pro-bono work for the 1960 Richard Nixon campaign sounds like a great idea. But Draper and company are a bit out of their element here. So what kind of smear campaign do they cook up to smash JFK in the polls? The everyman routine.

Don sums it up: “Kennedy? Nouveau riche, a recent immigrant who bought his way into Harvard. Nixon is from nothing. Abe Lincoln of California, a selfmade man. Kennedy, I see a silver spoon. Nixon, I see myself.” Didn’t work out so well, did it Don?

AWN MOWER: In season 3, the series showed the real reason why “Mad Men” is the best show on television.

They found the perfect formula for eliminating an annoying new boss: A drunk secretary plus a John Deere lawn mower equals severed foot.

M

EGAN: Megan is the most recent lady to win the heart of Don Draper.

Megan is more of a modern woman, in the sense that she has a secretary job for now but she fully expects to do something more. Some might call her a robot sent from the future to destroy Don. She’s perfect for Don because she has a wonderful way with his children. A perfect example of that is the “milkshake” incident and how she’s able to calm Don down before another tirade happens.

O

LSON, PEGGY: What hasn’t Peggy done during her time on ‘Mad Men?’ She started as a secretary and is now a lead copywriter for Don and company. But even after working on several successful campaigns, she is still searching for equality and the respect of Don and her co-workers. Outside the office, Peggy has made some nice moves as well, including a fling with Pete Campbell that results in a pregnancy. Peggy later becomes involved with Duck Phillips, formerly the head of accounts at Sterling Cooper. What’s next for Peggy? Looks like season five could be a big year.

P

ETE CAMPBELL: Pete is the guy everyone loves to hate. He’s gone through Don’s trash, slept with Don’s secretary (Peggy) and attempted to blackmail Don to gain a promotion at Sterling Cooper. But for some reason, he makes the show better. His marriage with Trudy is a constant source of laughs and will continue to be that way as his trip into fatherhood continues. Best quote ever from Pete Campbell: “I’m a red-blooded American male!”

Q

UAKER OATS COMPANY: The company that makes “Life” cereal is searching for a new campaign and the firm of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce has the perfect pitch. Don unveils his “Eat Life by the Bowlful” campaign.

The executives from Quaker find it too sophisticated, but as Don rattles off alternative slogans, he remembers something from an earlier meeting, “The cure for the common breakfast.” That earlier meeting was with Peggy and aspiring copywriter Danny Siegel, whose only original taglines are variations on “the cure for the common cold.”

R

OGER STERLING: The domestic Silver Ferret, even after suffering multiple heart attacks, continues to smoke and drink and live to tell the tale. But as season four progresses, we begin to see some cracks in the great Roger Sterling.

After Roger damages the agency’s chances to land Honda motorcycles by insulting the Japanese company’s executives about the war, his erratic behavior and disinclination to hustle new business prompts Lane Pryce to bring back Ken Cosgrove as an account executive. When Lucky Strike leaves, Roger conceals the news and pretends not to know even after Ken learns the truth.

S

T

HUT THE DOOR. HAVE A SEAT: The name of the end-of-the-worldas-we-know-it third-season finale, in which Don, Roger, and Bert — facing a takeover by McCann Erickson — got themselves fired to form their own agency with onetime nemesis Lane Pryce, Pete, Harry, Joan, and an initially resistant Peggy. It set up a great season four and what should be an even better season five of ‘Mad Men.’

OPAZ PANTI-HOSE: Late in season four, Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce is in need of some new business and finds it in Topaz. A great pitch from Peggy and Ken brought SCDP its first new clients after Lucky Strike took its business elsewhere. The celebration is short-lived because of the engagement announcement from Don and Megan.

U

V

TZ CHIPS: In 1962, Sterling Cooper hired Jimmy Barrett, a shock-comic, to do TV spots for Utz Potato Chips. During one of the commercial shoots, Jimmy insults Edith Schilling, one of the owners of Utz. He later apologizes for his behavior. Jimmy’s wife, Bobbie, was Don’s choice...for other things. Utz Potato Chips was founded in 1921 and distributes a variety of potato chips and other snack foods throughout the United States.

W

HEEL, THE: The finale of season one, “The Wheel” showcases one of the many great performances from Draper in all his story-telling glory. What we love about Draper is his ability to tell the truth and lie to us at the same time. In a meeting

with Kodak, Draper turns on a projector and flips through slides of him with his newborn baby or the family on Christmas morning. “This is not a spaceship, it’s a time machine,” he says. “It goes backwards and forwards, and it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called ‘The Wheel,’ “ he continues. “It’s called ‘The Carousel.’ It

OMIT: The beauty of Don Draper is how subtle he can be and how drawn-out his revenge usually is. After he realizes his boss Roger hit on his wife in episode seven of the first season, Don seems to take out all his anger on Betty, despite a terrible apology from Roger. But, as the episode unfolds, Don invites Roger out for a work lunch, and whispers something to the elevator operator before they leave.

Lunch turns out to be a never-ending barage of martinis, oysters, cheesecake and laughs. When they return, the elevator operator informs them that service is down and they’ll have to take the stairs. Don handles the stairs easily as Roger wheezes and lags behind. By the time they get to the office, Roger barfs all over the clients they were supposed to meet. Don just smiles, enjoying his sweet win.

lets us travel around and around and back home again.” He concludes with an image of him and Betty kissing on New Year’s.

It’s a scene that’s full of emotion, showcasing the ability of Don Draper to sell just about any product he wants. The clients from Kodak, equally impressed, cancel their meetings with other agencies.

Y

IPPER: Moments after Joan lashes into Jane for attracting a swarm of men around her desk, telling her the office hinges on “professional decorum,” Freddy Rumsen barrels out of office to show that his zipper can play a tune. “It’s Mozart,” he says.

ARD: In episode nine of season one, ‘Shoot’ gives us a glimpse of what Betty might be capable of after a squabble with the neighbor, Sally and Polly (the dog) in the front yard the day before. Their neighbor Ross threatens Polly after the dog grabbed one of his precious pigeons, “I see that dog in my yard again, I’m going to shoot it,” he says. To end the episode, we see Betty going through her morning routine and sitting in the kitchen. When she notices the pigeons circling the sky, she grabs the BB gun, takes aim and fires at the birds. Take that, bird man.

>>> EPISODE 401: “PUBLIC RELATIONS”

I

n the time between the Season 3 finale and the beginning of Season 4, Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce not only moved into swank accommodations at the TimeLife Building after a dramatic split with their British overlords, but our anti-hero Don Draper set TV advertising on fire with an ad for Glo Coat floor cleaner that looks a lot like a movie — something we take for granted today, but considering how TV advertising through much of the ’50s and ’60s until the heyday of Stan Freberg was painfully on-the-nose, Draper is shaping up as quite the revolutionary. But while he can sell a kitchen disinfectant, he seems incapable or constitutionally reluctant to sell himself: in an interview with Advertising Age, he comes off as antisocial and vapid, and the resulting article, intended to call attention to a conquering hero of Madison Avenue, paints Draper as a hollow man. His partners are not happy, and Bert Cooper gets his buddies at the Wall Street Journal on the phone.

The office dynamics are subtly different: Peggy (Elizabeth Moss) is growing into a revolutionary ad woman, paying actresses to fight over a canned ham in an outer-borough grocery to build brand recognition — unlike Don, she seems well versed in the mechanics of public relations, even though she will see her stunt backfire. But like Don, she seems ready to push the limits of her craft, as evidenced by the “John! Marsha!” Freberg bit that she and her new male assistant keep bandying around the office — proof that she digs the new breed.

In previous seasons, Draper was more likely to kowtow to timid companies unwilling to go for the edge, but when executives at a swimwear company come in acting like

Victorians who put bloomers on piano legs, he won’t brook it. They keep insisting they are a “family company” and want a wholesome approach to selling two-piece bathing suits. Draper hits them with a print ad featuring implied nudity. It predictably goes badly, but not only does Draper walk out, he practically runs back to give them the bum’s rush out of the office. Draper is establishing a new calling card with this: come to SCDP if you want to win. If not, quit taking up precious air in my office.

Elsewhere in Draperworld, it’s not so nice. Betty and new husband Henry are having Thanksgiving with Henry’s family, and it’s basically a chamber of horrors, with the kids visibly scared out of their wits by Betty — Henry’s mother says as much later. Don is living in an apartment below his means: he wants to sell the Westchester house, but Betty is dragging her pumps on finding a new place.

Even Henry tells her that Don’s in the right to insist they move out. Betty (January Jones) has never been this unsympathetic in the series’ history, and this looks to be how her character will play out. Meanwhile, Don is set up with one of Jane Sterling’s girlfriends, an extremely motivated, assertive and she seems to have Don hooked. And speaking of hooked, Don is having a call girl over regularly to slap him around — certainly one way to deal with his guilt.

In the end, Draper goes along with the WSJ interview, and starts out with the anecdote about insisting that Pryce (Jared Harris) fire them all, and we all know this is going to make up for the desultory Ad Age piece. “Public Relations” was really one for the “Mad Men” pantheon: the tone is being set for how advertising and the people who make it will evolve.

L

est we forget, “Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner worked on “The Sopranos,” and one of David Chase’s key tenets in approaching his anti-heroes was to remind us at jagged, irregular and usually shocking intervals what monsters we were watching. Sure, you could get all wrapped up in the “romance” of mob life and get a kick out of Paulie Walnuts and New Jersey La Cosa Nostra, but then just when you were starting to think, “Hey I’d like to have a beer and cigar with Tony and the boys down at Satriale’s Pork Store,” then Ralphie kills Bada Bing hostess Tracee in “University,” one of the most brutal episodes in the series’ history, and you’re brought back to Planet Earth.

So after “Public Relations,” in which Don Draper (Jon Hamm) seemed to reconcile his status as an advertising rock star after the Glo-Coat triumph, the bloom is off the rose a mere month later, as SCDP struggles with its accounts and plans a Christmas party that, to Roger Sterling’s eyes, seems awfully “convalescent home.”

Their dependence on Lucky Strike and its magnate, Lee Garner Jr., is evident every time Lane Pryce (Jared Harris) opens his mouth — they account for either 69 or 71 percent of SCDP’s profits, and Roger hates how Pryce says “per cent.” When Garner announces that he’s coming to the soiree, Sterling immediately insists that the party transform from “convalescent home” to “Roman orgy.”

The problem is that Garner, ever the high roller, knows the power he has over SCDP, and the agency must do everything it can to diversify its roster so that it breaks from that dependency, and that includes bringing back poor old Freddy Rumsen, now a recovering alcoholic fully entrenched in AA and dragging with him a $2 million Pond’s cold cream account. Freddy is very much a relic, a point made by a swift and ugly debate with Peggy (Elizabeth Moss) over how to sell the goop.

But at the core of all this is the cratering of Don Draper. He and the staff are stuck in a meeting with consultant Faye Miller (Cara Buono), who asks the SCDP team to fill out personality profiles, including questions about their fathers. Yeah, right. Don checks out, citing an appointment, but Faye calls him on it later at the Christmas party, when she corners him in his office in a flirting-but-not-really posture. She’s researched Don, and while she probably doesn’t know about Dick Whitman, she knows enough about Don’s recent history. She tells him, “Don’t worry. You’ll be married again in a year,” and then twists the heel by saying that she forgot that people don’t like to think of themselves as “types.” But this entire episode is about telling the viewer what type of guy Don Draper is during Christmas 1964. He is is dismissive of his neighbor Phoebe (Nora Zehetner of “Brick”), even though she looks like Natalie Wood in a nurse’s uniform, and unless Don’s afraid of nurses, that’s kind of a universal slam-dunk, especially in 1964. He only gets around to a pass after he’s too drunk to stand and she’s helping him out of his tie.

So Don strikes out until he gets absolutely blotto after the party, goes home and realizes he’s left his keys at the office. He calls his secretary Allison (Alexa Alemmani) to bring his keys. She takes time out from after-party drinks with co-workers (one of whom comments on Don’s miserable state of late). Allison, who seems to worship Don, becomes easy prey. It’s a dank coupling, to be sure, and later at the office, Don refuses to acknowledge it. This is the “Sopranos” moment of the episode: Don is horrible to Allison, who goes back to her desk and starts typing.

What we have in “Christmas Comes But Once a Year” is a study of Don’s interaction with three women who aren’t his ex-wife or his daughter. One is his equal, one is the kind of smart and gorgeous party girl who is used to be easy pickings, and the last is his sweet, insecure secretary. He won’t pick a woman who already knows who he is — that simply will not work for Don Draper — and he might have missed the window on Phoebe, possibly by a couple of years. Allison winds up being Don’s fallback position.

And we haven’t even gotten to Glen yet. Glen (played by Matthew Weiner’s son, Marten Holden Weiner) was the young boy whom Betty baby-sat while his mom went out to campaign for JFK in Season 2, and developed a creepy fixation on Betty. Well, fast-forward a couple of years and Glen is now obsessed with the more age-appropriate Sally Draper (Kiernan Shipka) and well on his way to becoming a full-fledged sociopath. In an effort to impress Sally after seeing her out with Henry and Betty picking out Christmas trees, he and a toadie break into Casa Draper and ransack the place — all except for Sally’s room. He leaves a clue on her pillow, and she appears to be smitten by this new protector who, at least to her thinking, is doing more on her behalf than Daddy will.

>>> EPISODE 403: “THE GOOD NEWS”

W

hile “The Good News” delivered some of the biggest laughs in the series’ history, those were set against the story of an anti-hero who cannot even do right by his mother figure, Anna Draper (Melinda Page Hamilton).

As we know from the Season Four episode “The Mountain King,” Anna was the wife of the real Don Draper, the one whose identity Dick Whitman nicked in Korea, and Don/Dick has been supporting Anna since. Just before New Year’s Eve, Don is leaving New York City and planning to go to Acapulco but with a short layover in Los Angeles. When we cut to Don in L.A., he’s rented a convertible and is cruising the PCH, which puts us in mind of “The Jet Set,” but there’s no joy — or Joy, for that matter — on tap for this trip.

He arrives at Anna’s bungalow in San Pedro to find her hobbling around with a broken leg and waited on by her sister Patty, whom she cannot stand, and her niece Stephanie (Caity Lotz), who is Anna’s best source of weed and an immediate point of interest for Don/Dick. Stephanie is a quick study of Don/Dick and she knows how to tweak him, playing some pre-rock ‘n’ roll on the jukebox just to shine a spotlight on his increasing antiquity in the Beatles era. When he drives her home, Don/Dick makes the most pathetic and least persuasive play for the college girl in his history of seductions — the man is off his game. Then Stephanie lowers the boom: Anna broke her leg because she has bone cancer. This being late-1964, a time when doctors felt perfectly fine not informing female patients of their true conditions (a la Betty and the psychologist), Anna is completely in the dark.

Don confronts Anna’s sister, who claims that they’ve done everything and seen everyone, which doesn’t seem likely — how would Anna not know that she was in an oncologist’s office? — to which Don/Dick makes a crack about Anna being treated by quacks in “Peedro.” That was an interesting little jab from Don/Dick, a little too geographically aware since he’s not really an L.A. guy. Perhaps Matthew Weiner was providing a little grace note for Minutemen fans.

Don wants to tell her and help Anna get the treatment she needs, but then seems to realize that that would entail commitment. When Anna wakes up, Don/Dick is painting a section of water-damaged wall, and she wonders if it all should be painted — after all, “a patch of new paint’s just as bad as a stain.” How true.

He returns to New York where Lane Pryce (Jared Harris, having his best hour of the series so far), is experiencing his own meltdown. Earlier, we saw him whipping out his constant tight-money mantra on Joan, who was trying to sweettalk him into some days off with her weasel-wannabe-armysurgeon husband so she can get pregnant before said-weasel is off in the Mekong Delta. Then he apologizes for being callous by sending flowers, but since he’s trying to appease both Joan and his haughty-snotty wife back in Blighty, he’s sending flowers left and right, but one of the receptionists switches the left and the right, with Joan getting long-stem reds with the note “Darling, I’ve been an a--. Kisses, Lane,” and the soon-to-be-ex Mrs. Pryce getting a conciliatory bouquet and a “Joan, please forgive me” note.

Lane has nothing to do, but he just got a bottle of fine Christmas booze from his alcoholic father, and that means it’s middle-aged party time. As they sop up Dad’s fine whiskey, they contemplate going to a movie, and one of the choices is “The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg,” which would be a superb selection all around, except it’s not that kind of night, so Catherine Deneuve notwithstanding, they go see “Gamera,” because nothing rings in the New Year like a giant, fire-breathing turtle. Then they eat lots of beef and the increasingly soused Lane puts his steak down around his old fellow and declares loudly, in an exaggerated cowboy drawl, “I’ve got a big Texas belt buckle! Yee-haw!”

After that, they go see a comedian who may or may not be Lenny Bruce, then Don’s slap-happy hooker shows up with a friend for Lane, and it’s more middle-aged party time, with Don having the whole boozy gang back to his man-cave (Another great line from Don: “I think Norman Mailer shot a deer over there”), where there is much carnal knowledge.

>>> EPISODE 404: “THE REJECTED”

E

pisode 404, “The Rejected” begins with Don and Roger on conference call with Lucky Strike problem child Lee Garner Jr., and they’re going over some of the new restrictions that are in place for cigarette advertisements and brainstorming ideas to replace images of, say, teenagers smoking. Don is unusually distracted during the call, even for this season, and is relying on Allison (Alexa Alemmani) to give him cues to say vague things like “We’ll do our best” when his name is mentioned.

Don is also bluffing his way through a conversation with Peggy (Elizabeth Moss) over her Pond’s Cold Cream concepts — he clearly has not looked at either of them. Faye Miller (Cara Buono) asks Don for some 18 to 25-year-old women from the secretarial pool and Don tells her, “Help yourself” — just as he does. Meanwhile, Lane (Jared Harris) and Roger buttonhole Pete in the hallway to tell him he must cast off the Clearasil account he got from his father-in-law because the Pond’s people see it as a direct conflict. Don tires of Garner taking precious time away from him being in his cups and claims he sees a fire down by Radio City.

Harry Crane (Rich Sommer) lets Pete know he’s having lunch with Ken Cosgrove (Aaron Staton), and tells him he should come, too. Considering that the old British regime put Pete and Kenny in direct competition, getting the two of them into a booth with drinks is like shoving a ferret and a cobra into the same tube sock. Meanwhile, Peggy has a new friend in the building, Joyce Ramsey (Zosia Mamet). She works at Life magazine, she loves nude photography and would probably love Peggy as a nude model.

Pete meets his daddy-in-law at a bar, ostensibly to discuss Clearasil, but that doesn’t happen: he finds out that Trudy (Alison Brie) is with child and — Yikes! — hasn’t even told Petey yet. There is much stammering from Dad and Pete generally looks like he’s been slapped in the face with a flounder, but he’s happy, and he blows off the bad news, since it’s champagne all around and a bonus of $1,000 if it’s a boy, $500 if it’s a girl. Yes, the mid-’60s were a bit like feudal China.

The focus group begins, and Faye runs the thing like she’s one of the girls, not like she holds a doctorate in psychology. Things are fine when the front office receptionist Megan (Jessica Pare) is going on about her “French extraction” and how she does what her mother does with her facial ministrations — splash tepid water on her face, pat with her fingers and smile longingly at

herself — but then one of the homelier secretaries, Dottie, starts talking about how taking care of her face never amounted to much, since her boyfriend left her high and dry with cold cream on her face a year ago after not really noticing her. Allison pipes up with “Sometimes it’s worse when they notice” — a comment that will certainly sting on the other side of the two-way mirror — and everything goes straight to Hell.

Allison is weeping with big, body-wrenching sobs and has to leave the room. Peggy tries to console her, but then when Allison takes her sympathy for empathy, thinking that Don must have treated Peggy the same way when she worked as his receptionist, Peggy turns on her: “Your problem is not my problem, and honestly, you should get over it.”

So then we cut to Ferret vs. Cobra, and Cosgrove goes off on Pete for badmouthing him. Pete does his dishonest best to deny it, but finally owns up and apologizes to his moral equal, and it’s all good times, with jokes at the expense of the less fortunate.

Don returns to his office to find Allison, still very upset, and she tells Don she wants to move on, that there’s a job at a magazine where she could work for a woman. She asks Don for a letter of recommendation, and he’s got a ripping good idea: why doesn’t Allison just write her own damn letter of recommendation, with all of her “sparkling” great work denoted in beautiful courier type, and he’ll just sign it? She responds by throwing a bauble at him, breaking the glass in a couple of picture frames, and running out. Afterwards, Don hits the bottle hard, and Peggy’s looking over the wall as he self-medicates.

Life magazine girl shows up in the front lobby to tell Peggy about a party downtown, which is bound to have reefer and hippies. Megan calls her pretentious, and Peggy agrees, approvingly.

Meanwhile at Pete’s apartment, there is much rejoicing at the announcement of Campbellspawn, and Pete immediately starts playing extreme hardball with Trudy’s dad, telling him, “I’m done auditioning,” telling him he’s got to drop Clearasil and, as a bonus, he wants the account for all of Dad’s Vicks holdings, including Formula 44, the cough drops, the inhaler, and Vapo-Rub and everything else.

Don’s party time involves drinking in his office until the floor polisher gets too loud and forces him to go home to the man cave, while Peggy is “swellegant” and downtown, hanging out in a Warhol-like “factory” where men in bear outfits

drink Budweiser and Life magazine girl makes a genuine play for Peggy, who politely rebuffs.

Now at home, Don starts to write an apology letter to Allison, but when we starts to write “Right now my life is…” he rips the page out of the typewriter, because nothing is more anathema to Don Draper than an easy revelation.

Back at the love-in, Peggy has a run-in with the nude photographer, and then the whole soiree gets busted, with the NYPD bringing in paddy wagons. Peggy ends up spending some quality time in a hiding place with the party thrower — seems destined for a full flirtation with the counterculture. When Don returns to the office, he is greeted by his new secretary, Mrs. Blankenship, a relic from the old days, like the 1880s or so. This is by Don’s request, mainly because in an apparent moment of clarity, he realizes that attractive women in their early 20s are a bit of a problem when they are in close proximity and filling his scotch glass.

Peggy is talking to her snide copywriting partner Joey (Matt Long). Joey doesn’t seem long for SCDP, because he’s the most insubordinate little creep this side of Pete Campbell, only he voices his contempt for his superiors in the open air. When one of the receptionists passes the envelope for a congratulatory gift for Pete and Trudy, Peggy is surprised at the news while Joey says, “I would get her so pregnant.”

Peggy congratulates Pete, then bangs her head on her desk like Charlie Brown. Cut to Don’s office, and Faye Miller shows up because Mrs. Blankenship told her to get to his office immediately rather than simply rescheduling. Faye tells Don that Pond’s cold cream appeal should be linked to the prospects of holy matrimony, to which Don says, “Hello, 1925.” Don is right in the long term: that kind of approach seems terribly old hat — like something Queen Victoria might wear.

In the lobby, Pete is meeting with the old men from Vicks, while Peggy is going to lunch with Life Magazine girl and a bunch of her young friends from upstairs. The message seems fairly simple: Peggy is casting her lot with the next generation, while Pete will make his bones with the ruling class.

And speaking of old hat, Don goes home to his dreary man cave, where an old man is standing in the hallway in his underwear repeatedly asking his wife, “Did you get pears? Did you get pears? Did you get pears?” His wife says, “We’ll discuss it inside.” Don’s feeling the desolation of the world he’s made for himself.

>>> EPISODE 405: “THE CHRYSANTHEMUM AND THE SWORD”

T

he episode title comes from a sociological screed about Japanese culture written by Ruth Benedict at the behest of the U.S. Government and published in 1946 at the dawn of the United States’ occupation of Japan. Considering that the bulk was written during the war, the chance that any meaningful on-the-ground work was done in the research phase of report is unlikely, but beyond some fairly prejudicial mumbo-jumbo, the takeaway for our anti-heroes at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce is that the Japanese businessmen possibly bringing the Honda motorcycle account to Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser) are part of a “shame-based society” as opposed to our own “guilt-based society.” Shame is a major motivator in how Betty

Draper (January Jones) goes about her parenting and it forms the foundation for Don Draper’s climactic clever maneuver against Cutler Gleason and Chaough.

Don (Jon Hamm) receives a call from The New York Times’ advertising reporter, who is doing some press release reporting on the idea that CGC is always in SCDP’s “rear-view mirror,” that they just nabbed Clearasil after SCDP had to drop the zit cream because of a conflict with the more-lucrative Pond’s account and that they are now competing directly over Honda. Don claims not to know who Ted Chaough is, but we all know this game. CGC doesn’t really come off as serious competition in this episode — more like carrion birds feasting on SCDP’s roadkill. But at the meeting table, the threat is taken seriously

and the importance of landing Honda is apparent to everyone involved except Roger Sterling (John Slattery). Roger, the World War II vet, is dead set against courting Honda since he served in the Pacific, and seems perfectly happy with SCDP’s dependence on Lucky Strike. Bert Cooper (Robert Morse) tells Roger that “the war is over,” and while it’s been some time since we, as viewers, have been invited into Cooper’s office, we know the guy has a serious aesthetic leaning toward Japan, what with his shoji doors and everything.

Don, meanwhile, is taking Bethany (Anna Camp) to Benihana of Tokyo (a business-andpleasure field trip that will probably be about as enlightening as Ruth Benedict’s book), and so Phoebe (Nora Zehetner) is babysitting Sally and Bobby at Don’s man cave — she brings her nurs>>> continued on page 20 MARCH 17 – MARCH 31

ing equipment for Bobby to play with, but Sally is extremely displeased that Don is abandoning them to go on a date. After Don leaves, Sally goes into the bathroom and hacks off a good portion of her hair in emulation of Phoebe’s close crop. Sally thinks that short hair will make Daddy notice her and she asks Phoebe, “Are you and Daddy doing it?”

At Benihana, Don and Bethany are getting their lesson in Japanese cutlery use and Bethany is complaining about her hair smelling like fried food when Ted Chaough (Kevin Rahm) shows up to do his own research and give Don a kick in the ribs. Don is clearly irritated — he tells Bethany that Ted is a “fly I keep swatting away,” but that isn’t near the irritation Don experiences when he goes back to the man cave and discovers Sally’s new ‘do. As predicted, Don goes off on Phoebe and hands her some money with a “severance” package. Then Don takes Sally and Bobby to Betty and Henry’s chamber of horrors, where Betty greets Sally’s hair with a whopping slap in the face.

Back at the office, the partners who are willing to conduct commerce with Japanese companies are meeting with executives from Honda, and everything is going swimmingly until Roger shows up and starts making dark jokes about Hiroshima and Nagasaki and blatantly insulting the men. Roger has scuttled any chance SCDP had of landing the account, and Pete blows up at Roger for what he sees as a personal attack sabotaging Pete’s potential success, and Don is forced to intercede when Roger tries to physically attack Petey.

And now things get a tad uncomfortable, even by “Mad Men” standards, as Sally sits on a couch at her sleepover and watches “The Man From UNCLE” while her friend Laura snoozes away. She gets a little, shall we say, flushed at watching David McCallum’s Illya Kuryakin, hikes up her pajamas and is promptly caught by Laura’s mother, who yells at her and takes Sally home. Needless to say, Betty is unsympathetic, mainly because word will get out that her daughter’s some kind of fast floozy (shame, anyone?). Betty tells Henry about it, and they decide Sally needs professional help because, as Betty tells Sally, you’re not supposed to do those kinds of things. Of course, Betty made utilitarian use of a washing machine in season one, but that was different, right? Right?

Back at SCDP, the men haven’t received the customary gift from Honda, which Far East scholar Bert interprets as a sign that SCDP is expected to bow out of competition for the account. At first, Don proposes that SCDP should just shoot the moon and create a spot, but bean-counting Lane puts the kibosh on that idea. In the middle of all this, Betty calls Don, tells him about Sally’s little indiscretion and informs him that she’ll be taking her to a child psychologist, and in short order Betty starts blaming Don for everything because of what she perceives as a constant stream of nubile Manhattan flesh parading through the man cave. Don shoots back, telling her, “You brought another man into your house.”

So Don’s got a shame-related idea that might not win SCDP the motorcycle account, but could allow them to save face: make CGC think that SCDP is producing a TV ad, which will force Ted Chaough to produce his own spot, thereby violating the spirit and the letter of the competition.

What follows is a great deal of stagecraft, with Joan offering a directorial job to a helmer who they already know is under contract to CGC and having Peggy wheel around a Honda motorcycle in the hallway. Word gets back immediately to Chaough, who comes up with a spot involving a motorcyclist driving through subway stations and then whipping off the helmet to reveal — gasp! — a beautiful “California” blonde. Peggy and Joey then rent out a soundstage across the hall from where CGC is shooting, and Peggy does donuts with the motorcycle, just to make noise.

Don and Faye Miller (Cara Buono) share the bottle of sake that Chaough sent over as a nastygram, and Don wonders aloud why normal human beings always feel the need to share their emotions — apparently Don isn’t just being guarded: he really doesn’t know. Faye tells him that it makes them feel better, and over the course of drinking the rice wine, she reveals that she’s not really married. The ring is a flim-flam thing that helps Faye avoid distracting or complicating conversations with brooding chauvinists at client firms. Meanwhile, Betty goes to see Sally’s new psychologist, “Dr. Edna” Keener (Patricia Bethune) who seems more interested in the twisted mind of Betty Draper than in her 10-year-old daughter.

Fresh from unveiling his lame ad, Ted Chaough gloats to Don, who he thinks doesn’t stand much of a chance since Don is clearly traveling light. In the meeting room, Don withdraws from the “bake-off” and hands the Honda guys a $3,000 check, telling them that he and his firm did not feel right competing when others in the running did not follow the rules and, by extension, the Honda executives received the presentation from CGC without rejecting it outright as a violation. The Honda executives have, in fact, been shamed thanks to Don’s clever little jujitsu against Chaough. SCDP saves face, and while they will not be selling motorcycles, Honda informs them that they will be first in the running to do ads for Honda’s entry into the car business.

>>> EPISODE 406: “WALDORF STORIES”

E

pisode 406, “Waldorf Stories” begins with Don and Peggy interviewing Danny Siegel (Danny Strong) for a job at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. Danny is clearly an overmatched cheesehead who allegedly has Roger Sterling in his back pocket and delusions of being the cure for the common advertising executive. In fact, his entire portfolio consists of variations on that hoary old “cure for the common whatever” construction, which was apparently dead as dirt even in 1965, and Don Draper cannot get this twerp out of his office fast enough. He won’t even recommend a lunch destination to Danny — he fobs that task onto Ida Blankenship who loudly declares, “I don’t work for you!” Don compliments Roger on the Danny joke, and Roger informs Don that Danny is Jane Siegel Sterling’s cousin, and if SCDP doesn’t give the homunculus a shot, it’s going to cost him a Jane consolation gift in the range of $500 to $1000.

Then we get a superb flashback to a time around 1955 or so, when Roger’s hair wasn’t completely sterling and he was buying a gift — a fur — for another woman in his life, and the salesman at the fur shop was Don Draper, a young hotshot who wanted to break into the ad game. Don is an expert mover with the furs and mentions that he does all of his store’s advertising — that poster with the beautiful blond, the future ex Mrs. Draper, was his work — but beyond the pelt, Roger isn’t buying what Don is selling. The scene cuts to a hotel room where Roger is presenting the gift not to Mrs. Sterling, but to Joan Holloway, who in the mid-’50s was rocking an appropriate Marilyn Monroe-style ‘do. And inside the fur box is a portfolio, including a spec ad for PlayDoh: “Open a can on a rainy day.”

Back in 1965, the executives from Life cereal are delayed, which means the bar is open — amusingly, Joan tells Joey he can make his own damn drink. Peggy learns that Joan is being brought to the Clio Awards to get everybody hot and bothered. Irritated but not as irritated as she will be later, Peggy goes into new art director Stan’s office, where he’s trying to impress Megan with the political ad he did for Lyndon Johnson, a never-aired attack ad against Barry Goldwater featuring a Klan rally. Peggy already hates Stan, and when she complains about his obvious flirtation, Stan cuts her down as being prude and asexual.

He’s a real peach, that Stan.

>>> EPISODE 407: “THE SUITCASE”

T

he Suitcase” moves our storyline several months into the future: it is May 25, 1965, the night of the Muhammad Ali-Sonny Liston fight, and it seems everyone at SCDP is betting on Liston, even though in his previous fight

against then-Cassius Clay in February 1964, Liston stopped the fight in the seventh round, claiming injury. But anyone outside of the advertising business who keeps claiming they’re “the greatest” is going to get their fair share of bad feelings, and Ali’s then-recent conversion

LOOKATOKC.COM

At the Waldorf-Astoria for the Clios, Don and Roger get their drink on and Cosgrove and the scion of the Birds Eye frozen food company show up, and a stray comment seems to indicate that SCDP might be merging with Cosgrove’s firm, makes Pete turn purple and plaid with rage. Emcee Wallace Harriman (“Days of Our Lives” veteran actor and fatherof-a-famous-actress John Aniston) is presiding when he is interrupted by a ragingly drunk Duck Phillips, who is promptly escorted from the banquet hall. Don quips, “I feel like I’ve already won.”

Back at the office, Stan and Peggy are trying to bang out the Vicks campaign that Pete brought over. Stan, who is allegedly the art director, fancies himself a creative director and is jackassing around the room, trying to make Peggy just take notes while he “speechifies” the whole Vicks thing.

When floor waxes are announced, SCDP is victorious for the Glo-Coat ad, and Don accepts the award with ebullience and handshakes. Well, word comes from Joan that the Life cereal people have unexpectedly arrived at the offices, and Don decides they need to strike when the iron is hot and stirring his fifth or sixth drink. The whole gang races back to the Time-Life Building, and Don, fighting back a bad case of the booze belches, delivers the tagline: “Eat Life By the Bowlful.” The good folks at Life think that’s too intellectual of an approach and that stupid people just won’t get it. So Don starts spitballing a bunch of terrible off-the-cuff ideas until he spits out “Life: The Cure for the Common Breakfast.”

This horrendous Danny Siegel bit of hackery is a sure-fire hit and everyone is happy except Peggy, who tries to pull Don aside and talk about his plagiarism. Instead, Don consigns Peggy to hell in a hotel room with Stan, where they are to hash out the Vicks campaign or else.

Pete confronts Lane about this possible merger, and the news for our weasel is slightly worse: Lane is bringing Cosgrove (and his Birds Eye account) into SCDP. Pete goes into a white-hot fury upon learning that his archenemy will be joining them, but Lane puts the smooth language on Pete and manages to mollify things, telling Pete that “Roger Sterling is a child” and that “We can’t have you pulling the cart all by yourself.”

At a Clio aferparty, Don puts some not-verysmooth moves on Faye Miller, who tells him “I think you’re confusing a lot of things at once.”

Faye might be interested in Don in the way that Don is interested in Faye, but she’s too smart to let him know that. She also is prob-

ably more interested in him as a subject. Who is Don Draper?

Well, this is who he is tonight: he’s the kind of guy who attracts a Carole Bayer Sager type who just won a Clio for a jingle, and it’s words and music at the man cave. Meanwhile, Roger is getting morose and Joan is letting him know it. What does Roger do? “I find guys like him,” he says. So we flash back to 1955 and Don has cajoled Roger into martinis at 10 a.m. Roger is still resistant to hiring his fur salesman, but really what we’re seeing is the beginning of one of the great enabling friendships of the mid 20th century.

Back at the hotel, Stan is perusing Playboy while Peggy is trying to actually work. Stan claims he is one liberated pseudo-hipster who can get inspired by some serious nudity, while Peggy insists that he wouldn’t be so enthralled if the naked ladies could make eye contact with him. When Stan continues to assail Peggy for being stodgy, she starts taking off her clothes. She’s a modern woman, our Peggy, and Stan is a cro-mag who is forced to say uncle, because Peggy is doing a fine job of staring at him in just the right way to make it impossible for Stan to think about cough drops.

In other sex news, Don is first with the Clio winner, and then in a neat edit, he wakes up to an angrily ringing phone while lying next to another woman, a blond named Doris who served him three plates of fries before going home with our big souse, who was apparently so drunk he introduced himself to her as “Dick.” The anger on the other end of the line matches the ringer: Betty is ticked off because Don forgot about picking up the kids during his blackout lost weekend. After mumbling an apology, he tells Doris he has a commitment, excuses himself to the bathroom while he waits for her to leave, then pours another drink and falls asleep.

Back at SCDP on Monday, Don/Dick is offering Danny a freelance fee so he can use his “Cure for the Common Breakfast” spiel for Life. Danny tells him “I don’t need money.

I need a job.” Don is so exasperated with the situation that he capitulates and hires him.

Between Joey and Danny, the average IQ just dipped about 10 points at SCDP. Finally, back in 1955, we see Don meeting up with Roger in the downstairs lobby of the old Sterling Cooper, but Roger is tired of this fur guy bugging him. The problem is, Don tells Roger that he hired him during that three-martini breakfast they had, and “Waldorf Stories” ends with Sterling accepting this story and Don wearing a goofy grin as the elevator door closes.

to Islam took care of the rest. But two minutes into the fight, Ali hit Liston, but he didn’t seem to hit him that hard. It was a fight perceived by many as being thrown. Don Draper, meanwhile, is going down for the count ,but there are indications toward the conclusion that he might yet live to fight another day.

To extend the boxing metaphor as far as I am willing, “The Suitcase” was a knockout.

Harry’s selling tickets to the fight, and the attitude around SCDP is mostly pretty nastily pro-Liston — everyone is still referring to Ali as “Clay,” and Ida Blankenship makes the kind of bad racist joke that makes you wonder about the wisdom of the ancients. A large section of the population would have placed spite bets against Ali back then, even

if his opponent was Danny Siegel. Speaking of Danny, he, Peggy, Joey and Stan perform a proposed Samsonite ad for Don that would theoretically star Joe Namath. The ad play, involving a kind of suitcase scrimmage, is supposed to be funny but is more whimsical than actually humorous, and Don’s not happy.

He also doesn’t think Namath should be used, since he considers using celebrities a “cheat” and besides, Broadway Joe had yet to play his first pro game.

It’s Peggy’s 26th birthday, and Duck Phillips calls after having sent over some business cards for a new firm he’d like to start with her.

Of course, Duck made a spectacle of himself at the Clio Awards earlier in the year, and he >>> continued on page 21

seems to have lost his job because of that and is hitting the booze in a way that makes Don look like a poster child for temperance.

She can hear the ice clinking in his glass and tries to gently pass on his idea, but Duck becomes belligerent when she accuses him of drinking. He admits he is “falling apart.”

Blankenship tells Don he received an urgent phone call from “a Stephanie” in California, but Don is avoiding the obvious: Anna is either dying or has passed on. Roger begs Don to come with him to Lewiston for the fight, mainly because he’s stuck with on-the-wagon Freddy Rumsen and his AA sponsor at Pond’s, and Roger desperately needs a drinking buddy. Don declines to work on the Samsonite campaign, and if Don’s working late, everyone’s working late, damn it, especially Peggy, who is supposed to meet Mark for a birthday dinner at Forum of the Twelve Caesars, which was the big, ostentatious place to eat in Midtown back in the 1960s. Trudy stops by SCDP to make Peggy feel bad about being 26, unmarried and without child, but the work that has sidelined Peggy from matrimonial and maternal bliss will consume her more as Don insists that she stay and finish Samsonite.

Peggy has more ideas, but Don’s shooting them down like skeet and trying to find an Ali-Liston angle as a he grumbles “Muhammad Ali” under his breath. Roger calls to beg Don to come to the fight. Then Mark calls again to complain that an hour has passed and he’s stuck with Peggy’s miserable family at an ultra-expensive restaurant. Peggy tries to escape, but then Don attacks, complaining that she should have grown out of the whole birthday celebration thing by now. She calls Mark back and they have one of the worst breakups imaginable: over the phone, while he’s sitting at dinner with her family.

That’s when Peggy goes back and a kind of World War III breaks out in Don’s office, with Peggy accusing him of forcing her to work on a concept late mainly because he stole that “Cure for the Common Breakfast” crap from Danny, and further accuses him of running with the Glo-Coat concept for which she apparently provided the early inspiration and never thanking her for her work. By this point, Don’s screaming at her, “That’s what the money’s for!”

Peggy goes away to cry, only to have Don call for her when he discovers a Dictaphone tape from Roger’s memoirs, in which he describes the early days of Sterling Cooper and how Bert Cooper’s secretary, Ida Blankenship, was the “queen of perversions.”

Yes, the ancient Ida Blankenship was apparently the Joan Holloway of her day, and poor Bert Cooper is a gelding. Yikes! They share a laugh and then spend a couple of hours drinking and eating, actually talking like friends, and they discuss the rumors about them. Don claims he never made a pass because of office decorum, but Peggy then mentions the whole Allison fiasco as rebuttal, to which Don says, “You don’t want to start giving me morality lessons, do you?” They talk about Peggy’s baby: apparently, Peggy’s venal mother thinks Don was the father, because he was the only one who visited her in the mental ward.

Then they return to the office and after the rocket-ship ride up the Time-Life elevators, Don runs to the bathroom and yaks up everything. Meanwhile, Peggy sees Duck sneaking into the office, ostensibly to leave a steaming present on Don’s desk. Peggy points out that it is, in fact, Roger’s office and tries to get Duck out of there, but Don, still reeling from the retching, calls Duck out. Duck might be drunk, but he didn’t just vomit his guts out, and after a brief and ridiculous fight that makes the Ali-Liston rematch look like the Thrilla in Manila, Don says “Uncle.”

Don asks Peggy to pour him a drink. She asks, “How long are you going to go on like this?” His response is laid bare: “I have to make a phone call, and I know it’s gonna be bad,” he said. Then he rests his head on Peggy’s lap and passes out.

Don wakes up in a drunk dream and sees the ghostly image of Anna, carrying a suitcase. She smiles at Don, turns and disappears. He wakes up at dawn and calls Stephanie, who informs him that Anna died, and asks Don if she can live there in San Pedro for a semester. He agrees, hangs up and starts crying uncontrollably. Don tells Peggy that Anna was “the only person in the world who really knew me.”

Peggy replies, “That’s not true.” Yes, indeed.

Peggy goes to her office to sleep for a bit before being loudly awakened by Danny, Joey and Stan. She goes back to Don’s office, where he’s showing her a Samsonite storyboard based on the Ali-Liston fight. She has problems with it, to which Don asks, “Why are you sh–ting all over this?” Peggy then tells him, “It’s very good.” Don holds her hand for a moment, then tells her to go home, take a shower and “come back with 10 tag lines.”

>>> EPISODE 408: “THE SUMMER MAN”

E

pisode 408, “The Summer Man” refers to a man waking up, leaving the New York Athletic Club after swimming and announcing that he could smell the warm season, his olfactory nerves lighting up for the first time in a while, and while the corn smell is probably a faint memory of Dick Whitman’s childhood on the farm, the perfume on the girls in their summer clothes is real. Don Draper is not a changed man, but he is a changing man.

As he makes an entry in his new journal, Don laments the difficulty he finds in writing, and how lazy he was as a teenager, writing the bare minimum on essays — five paragraphs, 50 words each, never writing more than 250 words at a time, ever. This is also the first time we learn about the extent of Dick Whitman’s formal education.

It must be noted that Draper is not exactly on the wagon in “The Summer Man,” but he’s trying, and every sip he takes of a beer, wine or even bourbon in this episode feels like a punch in the gut, but for Don, moderate social drinking qualifies as teetotalling.

Meanwhile, Joey (Matt Long) is pushing the limits of what SCDP can institutionally bear. The candy machine in the breakroom steals some money and Joey tries to retrieve a candy bar, only to have the ravenous chocolate dispenser make off with his watch. Joan complains about the noise when Joey, Ken and Stan rock the machine back and forth, and when the twerp mouths off to Miss Holloway, she asks Joey into her office and tells him he’s arrogant, to which Joey retorts, “”What do you do around here besides walking around like you’re trying to get raped?”

Joey’s been on thin ice for a while, and getting Joan at a point when her husband is shipping off to boot camp is fatal timing. Furthermore, Peggy isn’t terribly thrilled with her old partner in crime anymore.

Blankenship is bumbling around more than usual thanks to cataract surgery, and when she tries to deliver booze to Don, he turns the alcohol away and tells her to bring more cigarettes. She tells him that “his wife called,” to which Don replies “she’s not my wife.” Well, “Mrs. Francis” called to tell Don he cannot have the kids because it’s little “Bobby’s” (Gene’s) second birthday.

Don writes that Gene was “conceived in a moment of desperation and born into a mess.” Don’s drinking a beer, but as he writes, he wants to “gain a modicum of control” over how he feels.

In a meeting with Ken, Peggy and Stan, Don tells the Mountain Dew team that the company thought its illustration of a hillbilly was perceived as a witch, and that they need to start over. Peggy is drinking scotch, and, having been passed a glass of his own, Don takes his own drink — every one of them hurts. Don tells Joan he needs Joey to come on full-time for a couple of weeks to bang it out, and Joan resists — she really doesn’t want anymore quippy bon mots about rape than she absolutely has to hear. As they leave, Don tells Peggy to have “Ray Charles come in here,” and Peggy motions to Blankenship.

Harry Crane is talking to Joey about “Peyton Place,” and how he suggested him as a player on the soap, which Joey interprets as a come-on — how many more minutes before this sniveling narcissist gets the bum rush? Peggy confronts Joey about his incident with Joan, and nothing’s getting through. “Message received,” Joey said.

“Is it time to go yet?” Cue Peggy eyeroll.

Don is having dinner with Bethany (Anna Camp) when Henry and Betty show up at the restaurant with a Republican operative to discuss the political future of future New York Mayor John Lindsay. Betty spends most of the time looking like she’s going to reveal the lizard under all that peaches-and-cream skin. Bethany comments that each date with Don is like the first, and that’s especially true since this is probably the first time Don has paid attention to anything she’s said. On the way home, Betty and Henry fight over her behavior, with Henry saying that Don is “taking up too much space in your life, maybe your heart.”

The ensuing fight ends with “Shut up, Betty — you’re drunk.”

When Don returns to SCDP, he overhears Faye Miller (Cara Buono) breaking up with her boyfriend — well, that’s certainly helpful. At the same moment, Henry is trying to sneak out in the morning when Betty wakes up and desperately apologizes, batting her eyes, scrunching her forehead and generally looking like Tuesday Weld when she tries to justify her obsession with Don by saying, “he was the only man I’d ever been with.” As Henry leaves, he crunches a few boxes of Don’s belongings in the garage before backing out.

At the office, Joey’s acting like vodka and Mountain Dew is genius. Stan tells him, “You’re a haircut, you know that?” Peggy sends him back to the mixology board while Joan tries to make a case to Lane against Joey coming on full-time. Joey starts drawing a nasty picture of what Joan and Lane might be doing in his office.

This was a bad move — he documented evidence of being a little creep. Henry calls Don to tell him to pick up the boxes of stuff on Saturday, since Sunday is Gene’s birthday, because he needs to store a hypothetical boat. Henry is actively trying to deny Don the right to show up for the birthday. Don looks directly at his booze bottles before yelling, “Mrs. Blankenship, can I get some coffee!?!”

Peggy complains about losing money in the candy machine, and when Joan turns to get into her change box, she notices Joey’s drawing, taped to her window. Joan tells all the testosterony gasbags in the break room that she can hardly wait until they’re all dying in Vietnam.

“Remember, you’re not dying for me, because I never liked you.” Peggy brings the drawing to Don, who at first is impressed with the art — “Are you sure Joey did this?” — but then tells Peggy that if she is suitably upset, she should fire Joey. “I wouldn’t tolerate that if I were you.”

So Peggy fires him after he balks at apologizing to Joan. When Joey tries to weasel his way back

in, saying “We’ll see what Don says about that,” she replies, “Don doesn’t even know who you are.” That’s half-true — he barely knows who he is, and doesn’t like what he knows.

When Peggy tells Joan about the firing while riding up in the elevator, Joan comes back with an unexpected bit of nastiness instead of gratitude, illustrating the bad feelings about strata in the workplace and how Joan must maintain control — if it is perceived by anyone that she lacks the ability to stand her own ground, she believes she will be seen as a “meaningless secretary.”

“When a man walks into a room, he brings his whole life with him,” Don writes as we see him load up the boxes marked “Draper” that have been placed by the curb of his old home. “If you listen, he’ll tell you about the time when he thought he was an angel… We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.”

All this is being said as Henry, fresh from mowing the lawn, takes off his shirt before going in for a shower, much like Don used to when he cut that same grass.

Before dinner with Faye, he pours one finger of scotch, just for confidence. At Tavern On the Green, he tells her she smells nice, and she returns the gesture, commenting on his “chlorine” bouquet. He tells her that swimming “clears his head,” and he offers up that he’s been “out of sorts,” and that the swimming helps. Faye talks about her father and how he was connected with “restaurant suppliers,” to which Don jokingly puts his finger to his nose — an old expression for La Cosa Nostra. Don is unusually forthcoming with Faye, telling her about Gene’s birthday and how the boy thinks Henry is his father. Faye tells him that all Gene will know is what Don shows him.

Faye is charmed, finally, thanks to Don being sober (ish) and vulnerable enough to actually listen and take interest in what she has to say, not her blond hair and outward charm. “Kindness, gentleness and persuasion win where force fails.”

She wants him, but Don actually waves her off.

“Because that is as far as I can go right now.”

That’s not what she expected, but this is “The Summer Man.” I think we understand that Don wants to be better — that much is obvious when he actively beats the guy in the next swim lane over at N.Y.A.C. He shows up at Gene’s party to show him who dad really is. Betty comments that she and Henry should not be threatened by his unexpected arrival, that “we have everything.”

But the look on her face, as he’s bouncing Gene in the air, is that “we had everything.”

ollowing a tryst with Faye, Don leaves for SCDP, where Roger is having a fit with a potential publisher over his ephemera-filled memoir. Joan informs Roger that Lane will be taking two weeks off for his son’s visit to New York, but doesn’t want a memo circulated because he’s afraid people will stop working — officious limey.

When Roger asks if he could give Joan a “hard time” (heh-heh, he said “hard time”), Joan tells him it’s “not cute,” and leaves.

Caroline comes in, and asks him what he said to her, then tells the silver fox that Joan’s husband is off to French Indo-China, where he’ll presumably spend R&R in a dank Saigon hotel room where every minute he stays in the room, he gets weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger.

Don arrives and immediately blows off Peggy, who is worried about both a car-parts company and a laxative maker coming in, and how messy that could be. Don is not concerned, because The Summer Man just got back from a swim and now it’s time for a nappy-poo. Ida Blankenship, ever the fount of good tidings, tells Peggy, “It’s a business of sadists and masochists. You know which one you are.”

So then Joyce Ramsey (Zosia Mamet) shows up to invite Peggy for drinks, Stan makes some snide lesbian jokes and tells Joyce “you can never do what a man can do.” Joyce tells him, “You’re right,” and licks Peggy’s face. Now, I’m fairly sure that Stan could physically pull that off, but he probably doesn’t have license to do so. Then Peggy tells Stan, “Bad news — Don showed up. We’re on at 4.” Stan immediately swings around and gets to work — no smarting off or anything. The lessons of Joey resonate.

Don wakes up from his refreshing siesta, Ida gives him a message from Faye, and as he’s walking off, she asks him, “Are you going to the toilet?” like she was some kind of distaff Archie Bunker. Oh, Miss Blankenship, how we’re going to miss you.

Peggy’s at the bar, commiserating over the competition at SCDP when Abe Drexler from the downtown be-in/Factory party shows up. Joyce might be interested in some personal Peggy time, but she’s kind enough to help out the apparently lovelorn beatnik Abe — total set-up. Joyce excuses herself to go throw darts — presumably at pictures of Stan. During drinks, Abe goes on and on with his anti-corporate blather while showing that, for all his enlightenment, he’s a chauvinist at the core.

Meanwhile, in a very nice move, Swedish masseuses appear at Joan’s front door — it’s rubdown and pedicure time. The silver fox isn’t always the most sensitive guy, but this was smooth. Bert is doing a crossword puzzle and asks Ida for “a three-letter word for a flightless bird.” She tells him, “emu.”

He says it starts with an “L,” and she says, “the hell it does.”

They would have made a lovely old couple.

Abe Drexler shows up with an obnoxious manifesto instead of the 10 Commandments of Love. The beatniks were cool in their own way, but they weren’t the most romantic bunch.

While Peggy walks back out of the lobby, the Fillmore guys are in the meeting room with Don, Ken and Faye. Faye is telling them that the modern man has become soft, but wants to do work on his own car to feel like he’s still in control, so they should market to both the pros and the shadetree mechanics.

The Fillmore guys cannot decide who to target when Megan and her French extraction walk in with terrible, whispered news.

Sally ran away and was found on the train by a busybody. Don gets on the phone and reads Mrs. Henry Francis the riot act, and Betty responds by making Don keep her for the next two days. Don tells Ida to not let Sally leave the room, and Ida says nothing, letting the phone ring. When Peggy tries to get Ida’s attention, she just sits there with her mouth open. She tries again, then touches her own the shoulder. Ida goes face first into her blotter and Peggy screams.

Megan goes back to the boardroom and French-extract Don with another round of bad news. Joan, Caroline and Peggy are standing around Ms. Blankenship. Joan tells Megan to get an afghan from Harry Crane’s couch. As Faye, Don and Ken present “Fillmore Auto Parts: For the Mechanic in Every Man” to the execs, we can hear Harry protest that “My mother made that!”

MARCH 17 – MARCH 31

I

Tough day at SCDP. Don asks Faye to take Sally back to the man cave. Faye, who is such a winning number with adults, doesn’t know the first thing about talking to kids. She relates to Sally like she was trying to calm down a frothing Rottweiler.

As the men wheel out Ida Blankenship, Bert Cooper is understandably distraught — as was revealed in Roger’s memoir tapes, Ida was his 1930s Joan. When Bert asks where they’re taking her, Roger tells him the coroner’s office. He says, “No she’s not, she’s going to Frank E. Campbell.” (Frank E. Campbell: The Funeral Chapel, 1076 Madison Avenue. “Known for excellence, trusted for value since 1898.”)

Roger is understandably upset and self-absorbed, telling Joan “I don’t want to die in this office” — meanwhile, others in SCDP simply don’t care: Harry’s telling a terrible Irish joke while Ida goes to Frank E. Campbell wrapped in Mom’s handiwork. “She died like she lived: surrounded by the people she answered phones for.” Naturally, he turns his grief into a chance for some Joanie fun, and asks her to go for dinner and drinks.

Don goes home, where Faye managed to take care of Sally without breaking anything. Don is ticked off, but not enough to deprive Sally of order-in pizza. For all his issues, Don knows when his little girl needs something more than commands and criticisms — enough of that back in Ossining.

Roger and Joan have cheesecake, of course. And things are starting to thaw a little. Smoove. And while all that cheesecake is going down, Sally and Don wait for their own pie and Sally starts giving Don the third degree over Faye. Sally seems to have her dad down cold — she knows Faye is more than a co-worker, since she knew where the peanut butter was and she had keys.

Roger and Joan walk through a tough neighborhood and they are accosted by a mugger who takes everything. Roger tells Joan to keep her eyes down, as does he, and they give the fine young man their belongings. This has the effect of making Joan want to get sexy with Roger, and they do — in a stairwell not far from the attack.

Don tucks Sally in and asks if she wants to call her mom or her brothers. She really doesn’t want to — she wants to move in. “I’ll be good,” she said. The next morning, she makes French toast for her daddy. She tries to bring him some Mrs. Butterworth, but it’s a bottle of rum that just happens to look like a bottle of Mrs. Butterworth. No rum cakes for breakfast.

But, all this buttering up works — Don agrees to take Sally to the Central Park Zoo. And while they visit the lions, Bert and Roger struggle with Ida’s obituary. Joan finally gets things rolling and it finally jog’s Bert’s creative flow: “She was born in 1898 in a barn. She died on the 37th floor of a skyscraper. She’s an astronaut.”

Don and Sally walk into his office and are greeted by Megan, who will “be helping out a bit” in Blankenship’s old seat.

That’s not the kind of help Don needs — that’s why Joan gave him Ida in the first place.

Cosgrove, who repeats Harry’s joke about Ida’s cause of death (“Don Draper”) proceeds to make fun of the Fillmore CEO’s stutter, which Don is assuredly not cool with, and then tells him that they shouldn’t use rock ‘n’ roll if they want middle-American males to buy in. So, it’s all translucent crooners like Frankie Laine and Perry Como who are mentioned to sing in the spot. Peggy goes for Harry Belafonte to tally Fillmore auto parts. No go.

And then, when Don announces that Betty and Henry are downstairs, Sally starts to throw a fit. Faye has no idea how to deal with her, and Sally runs out screaming down the hall at SCDP and faceplants on the linoleum. Megan picks her up and holds her.

n “Mad Men,” actions have consequences — maybe not from week to week, but everything catches up eventually. In “Hands and Knees,” we see an unexpected consequence of actions set into motion in season 2 (Pete’s aerospace deal from StaticBlog’s beloved “The Jet Set” episode), and something from last week (Roger and Joan’s post-mugging alley romp). At the top, Joan informs Roger that “she’s late,” and that it could not possibly be her husband Greg. That’s going to be one silver-haired baby.

The bad feelings between Sally and Don persist, and Don is doing everything he can to make up for not letting his little girl live in his Greenwich Village man-cave and make French toast for him, so he calls up to Chez Betty Francis to see if Sally wants to go see the Beatles at Shea Stadium. Sally starts screaming — she might want to save that for the show: she won’t hear a note, but it’ll be 30 minutes that she’ll never forget.

Lane Pryce’s father, Robert Pryce (W. Morgan Sheppard) has arrived in New York to bring his son back to Blighty and make nice with the estranged Mrs. Pryce, because hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. Lane asks Don to go along to dinner, mainly because he could use some backup, but also because Don is essentially Lane’s designated wingman after last New Year’s Eve. Before the festivities, Lane, Pete, Don and Harry meet the rocket men from North American Aviation about promoting their hot new technology, and while key information is currently being blocked out, the NAA guys promise our SCDP men that the big, black blocks will magically go away as business progresses.

Playboy Club time — it’s pretty amazing that it took Lane Pryce to escort us to that monument to 1960s swinging, the Playboy Club, after 3.75 seasons. Lane tries to bigdog it in front of his pustule of a father and Don is just observing, bemused at the sight of Lane. Mr. Pryce complains about not getting his drinks, but Lane wants to introduce his new girlfriend Toni (Naturi Naughton).

Lane is pretty happy with himself, and he seems to be using this new relationship as a symbol of his independence — a not-sosubtle message to Dear Old Dad that he cannot tell his Laney what to do anymore.

Cut to the following day, and men in hats appear on Betty’s doorstep, doing a background check on her ex-husband, and suddenly a new dimension to Don/ Dick’s subterfuge becomes scarily apparent: because Don needs a government clearance to work with North American Aviation on their account, everyone could soon find out that Don Draper was killed in Korea in 1952.

The G-men ask Betty if Don is who he says he is, and while that seems to be code for “Is Don Draper a commie pinko?” Betty is freaked, but not as freaked as Don will be.

She calls Don to tell him about the interview, and Don goes into extreme damage control mode, sweating like a nattily dressed stuck pig. He immediately approaches new secretary Megan (Jessica Pare) and asks if she submitted a background investigation form on him. It turns out that Megan filled it out herself and asked Don to sign it.

Now he runs the risk of having everybody

besides Pete Campbell know about his past and, beyond all that, probably wind up in Levenworth.

Megan, who in her sexy android way is so eager to please, practically begs Don to fire her for screwing up, when in truth she followed standard protocol at SCDP. This subservience is just what Don likes, but not what he needs right now.

Lane, on the other hand, has more familiar and familial problems at hand. He goes back to the Playboy Club after hours to talk to Toni.

Roger and Joan go to see Joan’s OB, who is one seriously judgmental scold (“You have used this woman!”). He tells Roger to write down the name of a doctor who performs abortions in Jersey, because he doesn’t want it in his own handwriting. One thing “Mad Men” has excelled at is chronicling the shift in medical ethics and even the tone and bedside manner used by doctors. The doc talks like Joan isn’t even in the room.

Meanwhile, Don is losing his feces over the investigation and calls in Pete to see if his buddy in government can get the investigation halted, telling him he’d probably skip town and country to get away. Pete is upset, because he knows this means the contract, which he’s been working on since 1962, is probably going away.

The silver fox shows himself as truly a silver weasel in the next scenes, where he wonders aloud if the pregnancy is a sign that he and Joanie should be together, but that doesn’t exactly fit into his scheme given the fact that Jane Siegel Sterling is sitting at home and Roger isn’t keen on two alimony payments a month. So he tells Joan she should just raise the kid as Greg’s baby: it would be Roger’s child, but he would not be in the picture. With this scene, he basically carves a tombstone for their relationship.

When Betty tells Henry about the investigation, Henry is a little upset that agents were in there talking to his wife without his knowledge, but then he gets this kid who wants to be an astronaut look in his eyes and ponders that, just maybe, he’ll be the subject of a background investigation someday.

Pete’s ire is only rising over the NAA account: the next day, he tells Don he thinks the agency could survive and thrive even if Don were exposed as Dick Whitman and got carted away to the hoosegow, but Don is unequivocal: “Get rid of it.”

Don directs his accountant to establish a trust fund for Sally, the boys and Betty, and the accountant is more than a little dubious about the notion, thinking it is unwise to grant Betty access to such funds. This plays like one of those seemingly minor moves that turn into a colossal problem two years from now. But true unhappiness, thy name is Joan. She sits in the waiting room of that New Jersey doctor while a mother her age or >>> continued on page 23

younger cries for her daughter as she gets an abortion.

The woman assumes that Joan is there for her own daughter and asks how old she is. “15,” she replies.

After dinner and drinks, Lee Garner Jr. of Lucky Strike tells Sterling that he’s covering the check — an ominous move, given that it’s the agency that traditionally wines and dines the client, not the other way around. Garner informs Roger that they’re consolidating all their business with BBDO, and Sterling looks like he’s going to throw up, which is actually Don’s job at the moment.

Roger tells Garner that he has covered for him in the past (re: Sal, I suppose), and that he owes him to give SCDP 30 days to make things right. At any rate, according to Lane Pryce, Lucky Strike constitutes anywhere from 68 to 72 percent of SCDP’s business. This is bad.

Don is a quivering mess of a man, feverish and sweating profusely, when Faye finds him in his office and insists on taking him home. Once they arrive in the Village, Don sees two men in hats walking down the hallway, and he can barely contain his stomach — he rushes into the apartment and projects epic chunks into the porcelain.

Faye is concerned, but Don isn’t suffering from chest pain, and if she learned anything from her heart-patient father, that is the dividing line between panic attack and heart attack.

Now, when it comes to actual pain, Lane Pryce knows what that feels like, now that his tyrannical fossil of a father has shown up to press the issue on Lane’s return to the British Empire. Lane had Toni there and had hoped that he, Toni and his liver-stained potted meat mound of a father could have dinner so they might get better acquainted. Well, Robert is going to take a pass, so Toni goes ahead while Lane and Robert have some quality father-and-son time, culminating in that ancient, moldy treacle tart rapping Lane hard in the old bean with his death cane and then stepping hard on our old lad’s hand.

Up on Park Avenue, Trudy, wearing poofy pregnancy lingerie, walks into the living room to find Pete brooding and/or pouting. He won’t share what is bothering him, but he bemoans the people who leave destruction in their wake (Don) while “the honest people” are left to clean it up. So, who are these honest people you speak of, Petey?

Joan tells Roger that the procedure went fine and they averted “a tragedy,” which might be a kind of loaded statement if you think about the possibility that Joan could have ended up shackled to this mewling has-been for the balance of her life. Roger and Joan go into the partners’ meeting and Pete reveals that NAA is toast, which gives Roger license to rip Pete up and down. This serves two purposes: Roger has a legitimate complaint because they’re passing up good money, and Roger can use Pete as a convenient whipping boy and object of Lucky Strike fury. When Joan goes down the list of clients and asks if Lucky Strike is stable, Roger gives her a “thumbs up.”

Then Faye comes into Don’s office, where he tells her everything is resolved on the Don/Dick potential fiasco.

She tells him, “You see? Everything worked out.” After agreeing to dinner on the weekend, Faye leaves and Don kind of luxuriates in the pliant, vacant beauty of Megan, watching her apply lipstick so that she’ll be pleasing to everyone.

t’s a Beatnik Beach Party with Joyce and Abe! Peggy and Joyce pile into the car after crazy times at Jones Beach, where Peggy has to shake the sand out of her hair and Joyce wonders aloud whether that is actually sand. It is Jones Beach after all — it could be any number of things. So then Abe piles into the back seat with Peggy, and apparently all that “Nurenburg on Madison Avenue” claptrap is all in the past. they go back to Peggy’s place, and Abe is all over our Peggy, telling her that her shoulders make her look like an Olympian. That’s a nice compliment — much better than, “Your job makes you look like a fascist!”

Ken Cosgrove is at dinner with his fiancé and her parents when he runs into an old colleague from BBDO, who offers condolences about the loss of Lucky Strike. Ken, of course, goes into total apoplexy and rushes off to track down Petey, who is at the hospital while Trudy gives birth to Campbellspawn. Pete similarly craps his pants and when he is unable to get Roger on the phone, he calls Don. Don tells Pete to wake Bert Cooper and go directly to the office.

So everyone is gathered at Roger Sterling’s Korova Milk Bar: Bert’s in his jammies and everyone is somewhere on the scale between morose and screaming. Sterling is trying to act surprised that all this is happening and then is prodded to — oh, I don’t know — call Lee Garner Jr. and ask why the hell he’s doing this. So Roger gets on the phone and slyly puts his finger on the receiver to fake the call. He blows out a lot of faux outrage — “Thirty years, I have to hear it on the street?” What a guy.

He then offers to fly down to Raleigh to try to change Garner’s mind.

Don returns to his apartment and tells Faye about the bloodbath. Faye tries to be comforting, saying “Look at that face,” like she’s kissing a puppy. “”You’re the most hirable man on Madison Avenue.” Don doesn’t think it’s come to that, but one has to wonder just how quickly Draper would be snapped up. It’s not like his equals at BBDO or, more to the point, Ted Chaough would get out of the way for Draper.

Pete goes back to the hospital waiting room and tells his father-in-law about Lucky Strike, and Trudy’s dad treats this whole SCDP thing like Petey’s been hitchhiking through Europe for the past year and a half and now it’s time to get serious about his career.

Roger calls Bert to let him know that Garner said he can’t go for that, no can do, but he’s calling from a nice suite in Manhattan, not North Carolina. Bert calls a full staff meeting to announce that Lucky Strike is up in smoke, then turns it over to Don, who rallies the troops by telling them “”We’re going to push ourselves and it will be exhilarating.”

Don then ushers the creative team to his office,

for beans and a time for ketchup,” though he’s worried that a humorous ad for beans will result in the campfire scene from “Blazing Saddles.”

So Geiger seems “all in,” except he needs six months before he jumps, and Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce doesn’t really have six months — they might not have six weeks. Don even offers him a break on the standard commission, but Geiger can smell the sweat and advises Draper, a man whose creativity he values, to let the account execs chase the new business.

At the former Chez Draper in Ossining, Sally expresses some interest in actually having family dinners, as opposed to the three kids all sitting around at 5 p.m. and eating Spaghetti-Os and Betty and Henry having dinner

where Danny assumes he’s going to be the first to get a swift kick out of the Time-Life Building, but Don assures the homunculus that if he’s in the room, he’s still alive. He tells them that the SCDP brass will be in charge of shaking the trees for new business while creative does everything to retain the current clients. Peggy is told that she will take the lead on getting Playtex on board, because having Don do it might make the situation look desperate.

Still at his Manhattan hotel room and now looking for company, Roger calls Joan to apologize for all the subterfuge and to let her know that he’s got a bed under him that could use some testing. She is equal parts disgust and sympathy, telling him that if he had said something sooner, they might have been able to do something about Lucky Strike.

Sterling just wants her to get down to his room and “comfort him,” but Joan isn’t buying, mainly because flopsweat isn’t sexy.

Back where people are actually trying to keep the company afloat instead of hiding from their problems, Peggy starts talking about Playtex Living Gloves in a way that could make anyone want to do a sink full of dishes, describing them as the things that will save a woman’s hands for the things she really like to touch, which is making Stan and Danny get a tad squirmy. Ken and Pete make calls to current clients to assure them of SCDP’s solidity and then gather to discuss the state of things, but in the middle of this confab, Don is pulled away

by Megan the Sex Robot for a call from Glo-Coat, who basically tell Don, “Thanks for the fine work on Glo-Coat, but would you please hold this anvil while we throw you in the Hudson?” Completely infuriated, Don breaks his Clio and storms back to the meeting to castigate Petey for spending so much time on the birth of his child that he let Glo-Coat skip out. Campbell leaves to return to

after the underage borders have gone to bed. Betty sees it as evidence that Sally is starting to accept Henry.

What’s more likely is that Sally will settle for anything that remotely resembles a family unit.

Back at SCDP, Geoffrey Atherton, Faye’s boss, announces that Phillip Morris is preparing to launch a smoke aimed at women (Virginia Slims), and they’re looking for fresh ideas for marketing their new, pretty nicotine delivery system. Atherton says he already has a meeting set and tells them that tobacco is the ideal boyfriend for SCDP, because they’re just that “kind of girl.” And Bert Cooper tells Atherton they’ll listen more than they’ll talk — like a “good girlfriend.” >>> continued on page 24

not worrying about Glo-Coat, and he is greeted by Ted Chaough, who gives him a baby gift and starts talking up a big-time position with CGC. Roger goes to Joan’s apartment and, smooth operator that he is, immediately insults her choice of pajamas. Somehow, he manages to kiss her without getting a frying pan to the back of his silver skull, but Joan pushes him away, telling him “I can’t do this anymore.” In his office with Faye, Don tells her the clients are “dropping like flies,” and then insists that Ms. Miller should tear down this Chinese wall and start funneling her clients to SCDP. And this infuriates Faye, who tells Don that the only thing that keeps her alive in the business is her integrity, but Don acts like she just said all of that in Mandarin. He tells her, “I’d do it for you,” but Faye tells him she would never ask in the first place.

We haven’t had any frat-boy hijinks from Stan in at least an episode, so now it’s time for him to get inappropriately randy with Peggy: as she gets ready to pitch Playtex, Stan pretends that he’s some kind of enlightened spiritual leader who can peer into her soul and teaches her deep-breathing exercises. And of course, he puts his fat tongue in her mouth and she has to push him off of her.

Roger finally announces that his fake entreaties to Garner and Lucky Strike have resulted in just as little success. Don goes off on Roger for letting his only account go by the wayside, but this friendly family gathering is interrupted by Megan the Sex Robot, who lets them know that Trudy just gave birth to a baby girl. When Roger complains to Bert about Don being out of line, Bert gives him the high hat: “Lee Garner Jr. never took you seriously because you never took yourself seriously,” Bert tells him.

When Megan stays late to help Don, she really stays late to help Don. But seriously, folks: Megan is one worshipful receptionist of French extraction with an eye toward winning the Draper Matrimonial Sweepstakes. “You’re in my head all day and you don’t know anything about me.” Well, in a few moments he will know her in the Biblical sense, but MSR promises Don that she will not wail and rend her garments like Allison did. Plus, she’ll prop up “Mr. Draper” (she says, salaciously) whenever he needs it and probably not pitch much of a fuss when Faye Miller shows up. Megan is a remarkable convenience.

Roger goes home to find Jane wearing the kind of gaudy housewife clothing one would expect Lucille Ball to wear on “The Lucy Show.” She presents him with a box full of copies of his terrible memoir and she tells him, “I’m so proud of you” and nuzzles him. Hollow praise and hollow affection for a hollow autobiography by a hollow man.

Don goes home to the man cave and discovers Faye, who has apparently had a change of heart about giving up information about her clients, and presents Heinz on a silver platter. While she also seems ready for a roll on the Sealy, Don is exhausted (well, of course he is), and just asks her to cuddle. Aww.

In an unkempt residential alleyway in Ossining, Sally and Glen are comparing notes on their respective child psychologists and the whole thing looks like a parody of mid-century teenage courtship, with Glen wearing his football uniform and lounging on the grass while Sally hangs on his every word — Glen comes on like George Costanza in the “Seinfeld” episode titled “The Little Kicks,” in which he’s wearing a letterman’s jacket and leaning on a muscle car to impress Elaine’s assistant, Anna.

He’s offering her smokes, asking if she “kisses her mom’s a--” like Glen always counseled her — as Glen tells her, Betty “doesn’t like kids.” This is true, but above all other kids, she really doesn’t like Glen.

It’s like “Rebel Without a Cause” staged by the “Bugsy Malone” crew.

As he is leaving the Time-Life Building, Don runs into Midge Daniels (Rosemarie DeWitt), who was his Beatnik lover back in 1960-61 and claims to have just been at a meeting with a Time-Life-associated magazine and seems intent on getting Don back to her apartment to buy a painting and have dinner with her husband Perry (John Ales). Don agrees and when they reach Midge and Perry’s coldwater flat, the place is a sordid mess. Perry, a sweaty, desperate pitchman for his wife’s art, starts to sell Don on “No. 4,” a painting in a series of works based on what Midge sees when she closes her eyes. Don can sense the crazed urgency, especially when Perry offers to pimp Midge out to him. Neither has any cash to buy groceries for dinner, so Don slides Perry a tenner and he runs out excitedly. Midge dismisses Perry as an idiot who’s going to take the $10 and “put it in <<<

his arm.” Considering that Midge is acting as antsy as Perry and possibly because she hasn’t taken her sweater off and it’s September, Don figures she’s just as strung out. He gives her $125 in cash and can’t get out of there fast enough.

Meanwhile, Sally is in her therapy session with Dr. Edna, during which they play cards and talk casually. Dr. Edna tells Sally how proud she is of her progress and that she can cut back to one session a week so she can participate in ballet and such.

When Dr. Edna tells Betty about cutting back, Betty becomes visibly distraught and describes Sally as a “mess.” When Dr. Edna suggests that Betty, who always has plenty she wants to talk about during their monthly sessions to discuss Sally, should see one of her colleagues, Betty practically begs for them to continue their meetings.

Megan the Sex Robot tells Don that the partners are assembled in the lobby, so he joins them in time to meet Atherton, who dejectedly announces that Phillip Morris canceled their meeting. They went with Leo Burnett. Bert hilariously kicks Harry out of the partners’ meeting, and Mr. TV joins Peggy, Stan and the other kids to listen through the wall while Don tells everyone that “We’re desperate — they can smell it on us.” Lane tells the partners that he has secured a line of credit so they can continue to operate, but the senior partners (Sterling, Cooper and Draper) will have to cough up $100,000 in collateral and the juniors (Pryce and Campbell) must pony up $50,000 — we’re talking 1965 dollars, so even for relatively rich practitioners of the advertising arts, these are princely sums. Petey objects and makes

one of his faces, but Lane reminds him that his contract stipulates that he must do so if asked.

While Sally and Glen talk about dreams of floating, death and the woman on the Land ‘O Lakes box, Pete corners Don about how Phillip Morris used the threat of an SCDP meeting to get a better deal with Leo Burnett, and how he cannot afford the $50,000. Don explains to Pete that “I’m doing everything I can.” Pete and Don have one of the more complicated dynamics in this office, given Pete’s acquired knowledge and Don’s power.

Peggy, who shares a similar but far more pleasant dynamic with Don, suggests that the agency simply rename itself and start over. Don thinks this is ridiculous — they just started SCDP, after all — but Peggy thinks this would be “changing the conversation.” That evening, Pete and Trudy have a conversation worth changing: she gets all happy because the bank called about a loan application, but when Petey informs her of its purpose, she tells him that he’s just using the money to preserve his “state room on the Titanic.”

Back at the man-cave, Don begins to write in his journal an entry titled “Why I’m Quitting Tobacco,” and he details how tobacco is a product that “never improves, causes illnesses and makes people unhappy.” He types up this screed, copy-edits it in red ink and puts in an envelope. The entry becomes a full-page ad in the New York Times.

It was a radical move and probably a genius one, but the partners at SCDP hate it. The Silver Ferret smells blood and tells Don he’s glad he can step aside as the chief

reason for the agency’s failure, but then Megan the Sex Robot walks in to inform Don that Sen. Robert Kennedy’s office is on the line. A voice comes on that is just full of baked beans and chowder, showering praise on Don for his move, but really it is Ted Chaough doing a generic Kennedy impression. When Don hangs up on Ted, Bert goes absolutely bonkers, saying that they’ve “created a monster” with Don, and that he’s taking his shoes and getting the hell out of there — he’s resigning from the agency. Lane reminds Don that he’s got to belch up 100-large by the close of business “as it were.” When everyone else leaves, MSR comes in to stroke Don’s… ego, telling him that she admires what he did with the letter. When Don owns up to the fact that it was hardly an altruistic move, she tells him she understands that it was “he didn’t dump me, I dumped him.”

Don calls Peggy into his office, and she’s relieved when she finds out there will be no pink slip for her — for now — but that many of her underlings will be sent packing shortly. He asks her what she thought of the ad. “I thought you didn’t go in for those kinds of shenanigans,” she says, referring to his criticism of her ham scheme in 401.

So Betty is creeping along in the Cadillac when she sees Sally sneaking through the alley to meet with Glen. She brakes and races after her daughter. Glen, ever that wall of fortitude and strength, nearly urinates on himself. Betty tells Sally that Glen is a bad kid. “I know him better than you do,” she says, mainly on the basis of him stealing a lock of her hair.

Faye informs Don that Atherton resigned

their services with SCDP because he wants to work with tobacco again. Don sheepishly tells her he didn’t think of that one, but the fringe benefit is that Don and Faye can date with impunity until and presumably after he marries MSR. He suggests that they go to La Caravelle. She tells him, “Have your girl set it up.”

Back at the Draper/Francis domicile, Henry shows up for that family dinner Sally was so enthusiastic about, but then Betty puts the kibosh on Sally’s happiness, telling him that she’s finally ready to move to Rye, N.Y., home of Playland, which makes Bobby happy, but Sally runs from the table and spends the rest of the evening crying while clutching the lanyard Glen gave her at Christmas.

Back at SCDP, the remaining partners meet to discuss the layoffs and Roger tells Don, who at first thought it was a joke, that the American Cancer Society wants to talk to them about ads. Sure, it would be nonprofit work, but it could be the window that opens when a door closes. Well, it’s time to hand out the pink slips: “Don saved the company,” Petey says. “Now go get rid of half of it.” Not so fast, you ingrate: as Lane informs him, Don paid Petey’s collateral. Petey raises his whiskey glass to toast Don — yeah, that and $50,000 should cover it. Then Don gives Danny Siegel the tiny ax.

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER INSIDER WI TH DA R NEL L M AY B E R RY

Harden has a move that drives defenders nuts

J

ames Harden has found a new move.

It’s funny-looking. But it’s effective.

It defies fundamentals.

But it draws fouls.

Above all, it’s reliable.

“We know it’s going to be two points every time he goes to the rim,” said Kevin Durant.

Harden has developed a knack for drawing contact on drives to the basket by sticking out his arms, exposing the ball while gripping it with two hands, and baiting defenders to swipe at the ball. If they do, it’s a foul. If they don’t, he has an unobstructed path to the basket.

Many times, the Thunder’s sixth man gets the layup and the foul.

Opponents can’t defend it. Coaches don’t like it. And Harden won’t stop using it.

“That’s how I get to the foul line the majority of time is by using that,” Harden said. “If I don’t get there, the majority of time it’s a layup. So it just depends on the defenders and what they want to do.”

Unlike other basketball moves, this maneuver doesn’t have a name. Thunder guard Royal Ivey dubbed it the “stickand-move,” a somewhat fitting moniker seeing as how Harden sticks out his arms just before going into his finishing move.

“It’s hard to emulate that. It takes time,” Ivey said. “He worked on that and he perfected it. Guys can’t just go out there and try to do it because it doesn’t work like that. It has a lot to do with timing, the way he comes off the screen and the way he sets up his guy. And he’s mastered it, so that’s his move.”

Harden isn’t the first to utilize the move.

Other prominent players such as San Antonio guard Manu Ginobili and Los

James Harden has developed a knack for drawing contact on drives to the basket by sticking out his arms, exposing the ball while gripping it with two hands, and baiting defenders to swipe at the ball. If they do, it’s a foul. If they don’t, he has an unobstructed path to the basket.

Angeles Clippers guard Chauncey Billups have made it an integral part of their games. Thunder forward Nick Collison remembers scouting reports on Billups instructing players to keep their hands down on his drives to avoid falling for the move.

“I think the difference between him and James is that Chauncey looks to always get the foul,” said Durant, who teamed with Billups during the 2010 FIBA World Championship. “James looks to finish, to get the and one. So he’s getting more and

ADVERTISING JERRY WAGNER 475-3475

ones than I’ve seen Chauncey get.”

With the help of the stick-and-move, Harden has assembled his most productive season yet. He’s averaging 16.8 points on 47.8 percent shooting, while attempting 6.3 free throws attempts and making 5.4 foul shots per game, all career highs.

In the fourth quarter against Dallas on Monday night, Harden exploited the Mavs with the move. He scored 12 straight Thunder points to start the fourth quarter and got to the foul line seven times in the final period. Two

nights later, Harden scored a career-high 30 points against Phoenix by mixing in the stick-and-move to earn a team-high 11 free throw attempts.

“He’s like a running back once he sees that little hole,” Ivey said. “He’s just trying to get in between there and trying to stick the ball through.”

Harden says he isn’t sure where he got the move from or when exactly he started using it. But he remembers trying it a few times in games last year and seeing it work. He continued to practice it over the summer, perfecting it those inconsequential pickup games that filled the lockout, and came back for his third season armed with a new weapon.

At times, Harden combines the stickand-move with a more popular stutterstep maneuver that has been labeled the “Eurostep.” It’s an on-the-move jab in one direction before changing course and going the other.

“You don’t know what to expect,” Ivey said. “You don’t know how he’s going to counter you, so it’s just hard to guard because you never know. You think it’s coming and then he might just lay you out. It’s instincts with him.”

Harden has become adept at reading and reacting to defenders to make him even more effective. But it’s Harden’s mix of strong hands, patience and poise that has helped him excel when using the move.

“He’s real poised when he gets in there.

And he’s not going fast,” Ivey said. “He gets his body onto people and he tries to draw that contact and then when he gets the contact he’s sticking the ball out to finish a lot of the time. Or sometimes, when he doesn’t have something, he sticks it out anyway and he gets that foul.

The refs know to look for that.”

SOME GOOD NCAA STORY LINES KENTUCKY: The Wildcats are so loaded that John Calipari’s biggest worry heading into the postseason was that his players would be so busy worrying about the NBA draft that they would forget to take care of business. That might well have been the case last year when Kentucky was beaten in the national semifinals by Connecticut, and four players were picked in the draft. Complacency also might have set in Sunday, when the Wildcats lost to Vanderbilt and had a 24-game win streak snapped. This year up to six players could be drafted if all the underclassmen come out early, which begs the question: How does Calipari maintain Kentucky’s graduation rate with so many one-and-done players arriving on campus every season?

MISSOURI: There is no quieter top-five team in the country than the Tigers. That’s probably fine with first-year coach Frank Haith, who made the wrong kind of headlines before the season when questions were raised about his ties with a booster at the University of Miami who liked to show players a good time. Missouri benefited from a cupcake schedule early, but the Tigers won 30 games and the Big 12 title. Their four-guard team will cause mismatch problems for anyone.

LAMAR: No, the Cardinals won’t make a run deep into the NCAA tournament, though that doesn’t make them any less fascinating. Lamar hasn’t lost since coach Pat Knight ripped into them for being, among other things, quitters and drug users. Psychologists can debate the method, but no one can debate Lamar’s place in the tournament after winning the Southland Conference tournament. Knight’s father, Bob Knight, called it his best day in college basketball, which almost made Brent Musburger cry on national television. This would be a great feel-good story, except it’s hard to feel good about anything father or son has to say.

SYRACUSE: Bernie Fine won’t be on the bench for this Final Four run, and for a while it looked like Jim Boeheim might not be either. But Boeheim survived the child sex-abuse scandal surrounding his longtime assistant and his team won 31 games to get the No. 1 seed in the East.

Assuming yet another scandal — players on previous teams not being suspended for positive drug tests — doesn’t derail the Orangemen, they have a legitimate shot of making the title game for the fourth time in Boeheim’s 36 years in charge.

MICHIGAN STATE: A favorite in the tournament, if only because of the way Tom Izzo coaches.

He schedules tough teams and isn’t afraid to take a few hits doing it, something that happened this year in opening losses to Duke and North Carolina. His teams play hard night after night, which makes them especially difficult in tournaments, one reason Izzo has led the Spartans to six Final Four appearances in 16 years. Michigan State also has Draymond Green and one of the easier paths in the West region to make another run.

State of Kansas is well represented: Kansas led the way with a No. 2 seed when the bracket was unveiled Sunday, and the Jayhawks were followed closely by in-state brethren Wichita State and Kansas State. The Shockers received a No. 5 seed while the Wildcats were seeded eighth.

It’s the first time since 1988 that all three of the state’s Division I programs made the

field at the same time. That was the year Kansas and Kansas State met in a regional final, and the Jayhawks went on to beat Oklahoma for the national championship.

Kansas State opens against Southern Miss and Wichita State plays VCU on Thursday. Kansas faces Detroit on Friday night. The Sunflower State is well represented in this year’s NCAA tournament.

>>> EPISODE 411: “TOMORROWLAND”

W

ho is Don Draper? He is exactly who he was before this extraordinary season: a man most comfortable selling a sweet, unrealistic dream, even if he’s the customer. Don Draper’s “Tomorrowland” is really Fantasyland, and this episode is Mr. Draper’s Wild Ride.

At the man cave, Faye Miller is leaving to go to work, and Don is lying in bed, sweaty and freaking out about the cratering going on at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. Faye tells him he might feel better if he can settle with the past, acknowledge who he really is and move on into a brave new world as a Richard Donald Draper Whitman kind of guy. But Don is going to California with an aching in his heart, and Faye is not part of the equation. “I’m going to miss you,” he tells her. We all will.

Joan is pushing the mail cart through the empty expanse with a slight scowl on her face when she reaches Lane’s office, where she is told that, by unanimous decree, the partners made her Director of Agency Operations, which is essentially what she’s been doing anyway. Then he tells her that there will not be a pay bump commensurate with her now-official new title, and she tells him, “Well, it’s almost an honor.” No one at SCDP is taken for granted quite like Joan Holloway.

Don and Pete are meeting with the American Cancer Society and pitching an idea for anti-tobacco messages. The key PSA would feature parents and children doing family things, but always with cigarettes in the hands and the mouths of the parents. It would run during “American Bandstand” and it might have a good beat and you could dance to it, but the message would resonate: cigarettes would always get between them and their parents, the cigarettes will win, and their parents will die. The board questions it, pointing out that teens hate their parents, but Don — and this is classic Don — tells them that teenagers are sentimental: “Have you heard their music?”

Back at SCDP, Roger yells, “Did you get Cancer?”

Ah, the hilarity of the domestic Silver Ferret. Don and Petey are getting happy as they discuss how to exploit the ACS board for ad dollars, and they lean on Ken Cosgrove to talk his future father-in-law into bringing Dow Chemical to the agency. Kenny’s not on board: he tells them that his fiance is his life — “literally my life” — and that he will not let business jeopardize his relationship and that he’s not Pete.

Up at Ossining, Glen shows up as the Salvation Army is carting out some furniture. He asks Carla if he can say goodbye to Sally. Carla is not wild about letting Krazee-Eyez Killa into the house, but since Betty is at the store, she figures it can’t do much harm. Yeah, whatever. So Glen goes up to Sally’s room and they have kind of a sweet goodbye, but then when Glen leaves, he runs into his arch-nemesis. Betty screams at him, and he tells Betty she is against anyone else being happy because she’s personally incapable of true happiness. Betty fires Carla, the woman who raised her children.

So Don and his meddling accountant are discussing the sudden influx of cash he’s experiencing through the magic of real estate sales: the house in San Pedro and the Draper-Francis homestead in Ossining, which means Don can finally buy someplace to live other than his Village man-cave. But then Betty calls to tell him that Carla is canned, which means she cannot go to Cali with Don and the kids. Don goes bonkers at Betty’s summary judgment on Carla and insists that she be rehired for the trip, but Betty says Carla will “poison the well.” But Don has meetings, he tells her, and without Carla’s help it will be impossible to do business. So Betty tells him he should not take them, that “they’re used to it.” She’s played that one before, but this belongs in the hall of fame.

Megan the Sex Robot has been checking into child care for Don’s trip, and she’s found that the hotel has services to handle the older kids but won’t take care of the baby, and vice versa. So Don has a really great, Edison-inventing-the-light-bulb epiphany: why not pay MSR to take care of his kids in Cali? I mean, talk about all the comforts of home! MSR’s happiness sensors light up like her beloved Paris.

Kenny tells Peggy that the Pantyhose Men were impressed that he had found out so quickly about the failed campaign and agreed to take pitches.

Meanwhile, Don comes in from a long day of business meetings and sees Megan the Sex Robot sitting on the bed with the kids, whom she’s taught a delightful French children’s song — one that sent little Eugene to slumberland. Don tells her, “You’re like Maria Von Trapp,” which is a kind of male wish-fulfillment fantasy circa 1965: a virginal nun-wannabe comes to take care of the children, teaches them to sing and keeps them out of Daddy’s hair while he’s off at war.

Everything is going according to plan.

So then Don takes the kids with him to check out Anna’s house, where Stephanie is getting everything packed up. Sally notices the “Dick + Anna, ’64 painted below the pretty flowers on the wall, and asks Don/Dick who “Dick” is. He tells her it is him, that is “my nickname sometimes.” As a lovely parting gift, Stephanie gives Don a tiny blue box. It is a solitaire diamond ring — the ring that the real Don Draper gave Anna before the Korean War. Oh yes, everything is going according to plan.

Don is sitting on the bed with the kids, planning the next day’s trip to Disneyland when Megan shows up at the door with her old French Canadian college friend — they’re going to the Whisky a Go Go, possibly to see the Doors or the Lovin’ Spoonful. But that’s nothing like the rocking taking place in Ossining, where Henry is getting drunk and yelling at Betty for firing Carla.

Betty protests, telling him they need a fresh start, but Henry says “There is no fresh start” — that “lives carry on.” She’s shocked — shocked! — that Henry isn’t on her side. Henry, who is showing a promising streak of nihilism that might save him in the end, tells her “Betty, no one is on your side.”

So now the kids are nestled all snug in their beds when Don hears Megan the Sex Robot return from

the Whisky, and one suspects Megan wanted Don to know she was back. He knocks on the door under the pretense of not being able to watch TV with the kids asleep, and wondering if she might be willing to help him plan the Disneyland trip. She makes googly eyes and jokingly and saucily asks if she should be a part of such “high-level discussions.” He’s in, and very much like Flynn.

In short order, after some discussions of her college friend and MSR’s teeth(!), they’re kissing.

MSR asks, “Are you sure we should be doing this?”

But Don hasn’t stopped thinking about her, he says, and now he can’t stop doing anything else. Bwah-haha-haaaa. Everything is going according to plan.

Don asks MSR if this is how she imagined things turning out. Her Nexus-6 circuit board sends a positive message, to which Don responds by pointing out that Megan knows nothing about him. This would be a perfect time for Edward James Olmos to drop an origami crane on the bedside table and yell, “But then again, who does?” But Megan says she knows enough: “You have a good heart and I know that you’re always trying to be better,” she says. Don wants to know if this is just a one-off, like their roll on the mid-century modern furnishings in his office.

She assures him that there will not be a malfunction.

This is not the only seduction going on: the Topaz guys are being sold by Kenny and Peggy, who was smart enough to wear the product to the meeting and had some strong ideas — the hilariously named Art Garten likes what he’s hearing. But at the Johnie’s Coffee Shop at Wilshire and Fairfax (home of your favorite indie-film restaurant scenes), Sally’s not liking what Bobby’s selling (something about her being fat), and she knocks over a milkshake. Don reacts loudly, proving there’s not much air between his and Betty’s styles of parenting, but Megan Von Trapp the Cybernetic Sex Nanny has things under control, insisting there’s no use yelling over spilt milkshake. Hmm, Don thinks: this one can shield me from the headaches of parenting, and she’s expertly programmed to fulfill my fantasies — I’ll take her!

We then quick-cut back to New York. Don is sitting at the foot of the bed while MVTCSN is recharging. When she awakens, Don tells her that he’s been awake for a few hours, and could not sleep because

he’s cannot stop thinking about her and “I feel like myself when I’m with you,” whatever that means. But our favorite ad man really pours it on, and when he says “I am in love with you, Megan,” it’s probably the exact way he imagines she would like to hear it. He brings out the little blue box, and asks her to marry him. She looks confused, but again, everything is going according to plan. She says yes, and if this were a much lesser show, we’d be hearing the echoing voice of Faye Miller right now: “You’ll be married again within the year.”

At SCDP, Don summons the Silver Ferret, Lane, Petey and Joan to his office to announce that he and “Miss Calvet” will be getting married. Of course, no one knows this name of French extraction, so Joanie pipes up to tell them it’s Megan. She’s invited in, prances over to Don in a slinky red dress as part of the coronation, and after the applause, the Silver Ferret tells Don that this is how their kind live. Indeed, Don has followed in Roger’s footsteps by marrying his secretary. Ida Blankenship died for you, Megan Calvet.

Kenny tells Peggy that the word from Art Garten is awesome — they loved the second and fourth ideas, and they want to see something in a week. They go to Don’s office, where there is much rejoicing. Don is as ebullient as he’s ever been this season as he congratulates the two, but Peggy is bewildered by the new reality: Don has thrown over her idol, Dr. Faye Miller, for this year’s model. Don thinks he’s being crafty and complimentary by telling Peg that MSR “has the same spark” as she does, and that Megan looks up to her, but Peggy just sees it as Megan taking the old way to success while Peggy is in the trenches.

Megan then tells Don that Faye has called again. Don has been ducking her, but Megan tells him that waiting will not make things easier. Meanwhile, Peggy goes to Joan’s office and the two commiserate about the impending nuptials. Joan tells Peggy that she’ll probably have to train Megan as a copywriter, and Peggy gripes that the engagement completely overshadowed the Topaz signing, which is the company’s first new business since losing Lucky Strike. Sharing a smoke, Joan tells Peggy that she learned a long time ago that she should not try to gain all her satisfaction in the workplace, to which Peggy laughs, finally finding some common ground after the unpleasantness a few episodes ago.

And now comes “the talk.” Don is on the phone with Faye, asking if she’ll meet him for coffee. She’s not buying it: Faye knows what is coming, and she does not want to sit through coffee after he breaks up with her. When he tells her he’s met someone, he’s fallen in love and he’s getting married, she starts to cry, asking who it is. He asks her, “Does it matter?” as if he already knows how little regard she’ll have for his choice in life. She tell him, “I hope she knows that you only like the beginnings of things.” They hang up, and she sobs uncontrollably. Dr. Faye Miller wanted Don to embrace the truth, and that was a bridge too far. It was far too easy to marry someone who has cartoon bluebirds draping daisy garlands over her when she rises every morning.

At 7 p.m. in Ossining, N.Y., and the house where Don and Betty Draper (but mostly Carla) raised their children is empty except for Betty, who is standing in the kitchen, primping for what is supposed to be a surprise encounter with Don. Don is there to meet the Realtor for a walk-through, but Betty claims she forgot a few things. Don supposes she also forgot the Jameson he kept over the oven, and they share a drink out of one of the kids’ duck-shaped plastic cups.

Betty starts to reminisce with Don about the old days, then lets loose that “things aren’t perfect.” Don tells her that he met someone and he’s getting married.

She assumes that it’s Megan, since she went with him to California. Well, that didn’t go well. Betty picks up her stuff and goes to Rye, and Don lies in bed, with Megan recharging next to him, thinking about the life he left and the one ahead of him in Season 5.

MAD ABOUT JUNIOR’S “F

Open the big black door at Junior’s, 2601 Northwest Expressway, and behold the spirit of “Mad Men.” ree Don Draper!” That’s been the mantra for “Mad Men” fans for more than a

year now.

The receive to our ask and you shall happens March 25 when AMC welcomes back the show that saved its bacon. The show is about characters trying to preserve a universe in which they are its masters. History teaches us the social changes awaiting the characters will surely destroy the milieu in which they’ve built their success. How will they evolve?

Here in Oklahoma City, there’s a hint that not everything is changed by severe changes.

Just open the big black door at Junior’s, 2601 Northwest Expressway, and behold the spirit of “Mad Men.” Junior’s didn’t open until 10 years after the time of “Mad Men,” but then Oklahoma has never been known for its ability to keep up with cultural evolution. Had Don Draper and his Sterling Cooper cohorts ever been summoned to The Oil Building to land an account, any deal would’ve been sealed at the foot of a gin river clouded by cigar smoke on cocktail napkins bearing the Junior’s brand.

Want “Mad Men”-style ambiance? It’s easy to picture the silhouette of Don Draper dangling his cigarette over a red upholstered chair in the Junior’s glass-encased, low-lit bar, which features free-poured libations,

AVENUE, OKC

a humidor full of cigars and a piano player singing the standards.

Then he meets Betty or Megan or a client at a dinner table covered in white linen for a hand-cut steak with either lobster or crab legs after a table-side Caesar salad.

“A lot of important figures come in, a lot of famous people. Some want to be recognized, some don’t, and we honor that,” owner Jim Shumsky said. “No matter who comes in, we take good care of them. You come in, and we’re gonna spoil you.”

“Mad Men” is all about the spoiled.

Life in a Madison Avenue ad agency during the early 1960s had plenty to offer — as long as you were white, male, straight and preferably protestant. Lead character Don Draper is the patriarchal archetype in distress. The comfortable world he fought ruthlessly and unflinchingly to build is changing despite his attempts to hold it together.

While Don and his colleagues eat, drink, smoke and make merry their way through the WASP-friendly world of Jack Lemmon’s “The Apartment,” the dark underworld of Lemmon’s “Days of Wine and Roses” lurks on the fringes of time and the foundationshaking, free-loving era of the hippie lies in wait.

“Mad Men” might be nostalgic for baby boomers, but to Generation X and beyond, it’s an extended look at an era that’s been paid little attention and thus makes it all the more interesting.

The era isn’t treated gently. Characters are fully drawn, and the viewer is left with some satisfaction knowing certain arrogant characters face a bitter end.

But that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t want to party with these guys for a day: cocktails at work, no fear of cigarettes, no notion of what saturated fat is, and the joy of a newfangled fashion in food from France.

“Mad Men” is about the birth of prosperity and its short shelf life. Junior’s is a testament to that theme, opening in September 1973 as the oil industry was on an economic rise not unlike the one ad men rode in the 1960s on Madison Avenue. We also know that just as Draper and his colleagues will not ride this wave of bacchanal and acceptable sexual harassment forever. Finding out who will survive and how, compels us forward with the show. Here lies another parallel between “Mad Men” and Junior’s, which sailed straight into the jaws of an oil bust and not only survived but flourished.

Maybe that’s why RJD2’s instrumental version of “A Beautiful Mine” burst in to mind when I first walked into Junior’s. Maybe that’s why the first thing I said to owner Jim Shumsky was, “This is where Don Draper would hang out.”

Junior Simon moved here from Tulsa to manage a new restaurant in the basement of The Oil Building in ‘73.

It was a supper club, and guests came by invitation only. Shumsky, a Pfizer executive originally from New York, and his wife, Martha, got their invite in December of that year.

“As soon as I walked in the place, I fell in love with it,” Shumsky said. “I became a regular that night.”

When Shumsky brought in doctors from across the country for business, he took them to Junior’s. For special occasions, he came to Junior’s. For happy hour, he came to Junior’s. To watch “Monday Night Football,” he came to Junior’s.

In fact, he was watching “Monday Night Football” the night he switched from regular to owner.

After Simon’s death in 1984, his widow, Genell, brother Kaye Simon and brother-in-law Otto Rahill ran the restaurant.

When Otto and Kaye retired from the business in the late 1990s, Genell approached Shumsky to buy the restaurant. But Shumsky was preparing for his emeritus years. It took until 2003 to persuade him.

“She’d been after me a while,” Shumsky said. “I tried putting together a group of investors but couldn’t really get that going. So, one night, I’m watching ‘Monday Night Football,’ and Genell comes up to me and says, ‘Are you gonna buy this place or what?’ I turned around to her and said, ‘I’ll take it!’ “ In January 2004, Shumsky took over, but little has changed. Shumsky enclosed the bar in glass to keep it legal and installed an enormous vacuum system to reduce the spread of secondhand smoke, but the piano is original, and the bartender, named Shoes, has been free-pouring for more than two decades. Steaks are hand-cut, and Caesar salads are still made table-side.

“Genell agreed to sell it to me on the condition I wouldn’t change anything, and I would honor her husband,” Shumsky said. “She never needed to ask me to do that. The way I see it, this is Junior Simon’s place. I’m just watching it for him.”

The fashion of the 1960s hasn’t been so popular since, well, the 1960s. From movies such as “The Help” and TV’s “Mad Men,” and other pop culture influences, the ladylike silhouette of the ’60s woman and the starched, professional look sported by many a hardworking man throughout the decade are back en force in boutiques and department stores.

“We haven’t done dresses and skirts for such a long time, now it’s their return,” said Cindi Shelby, owner of Ruth Meyers in Nichols Hills Plaza.

She recently returned from New York City where she was buying for fall. The current trend toward this ladylike style of dress will continue throughout spring and summer and into fall, Shelby said.

“I think it’s interesting how Kate Middleton is also a factor in the return of the ladylike,” Shelby said. From pencil and classic A-line skirts to full circle skirts and of course, her trademark shimmery hosiery, Middleton’s strong influence on today’s fashion is palpable at many local boutiques.

“Mad Men,” which returns for its fi fth season on March 25, has also made a strong impact on fashion trends both for men and women.

“I think it’s very accurate and kind of a sweet spot of what is happening in men’s fashion,” said Spencer Stone, owner of Spencer Stone Company, a men’s clothing boutique that specializes in modern styling of classic menswear. While the show’s costumers are tight-lipped about how the show’s fashion sense will develop as it skips forward into the late 1960s for its new season, the men’s styles are unlikely to change much, Stonesaid, because they remained somewhat staid throughout the decade for men of a conservative, professional social status.

Not so for women’s fashions, Shelby said — at least for some women. As the mid-’60s slipped into the late ’60s and early ’70s, the Women’s Liberation movement seeped into the styles of the day and many of the cupcake dresses

ABOVE For a casual weekend look, Mason’s New York cut chinos, a blue chambray shirt by Rag & Bone and a cream cotton bomber jacket by Valstarino are a winning combination. All sold at Spencer Stone Company.

and sweetheart hairstyles of the earlier ’60s were tossed in favor of bohemian and hippyvibed frocks made of the high-tech fabric of the day — polyester. Perhaps these styles wouldn’t have as been popular among conservative housewives of the late ’60s, but many women in the workforce, college-age women and teens rebelled against the propriety of fashion set by their mothers and conventional peers. Bell-bottom polyester power suits and short skirts with tall go-go boots ala Nancy Sinatra replaced the sweet Sandra Dee style carried over from the 1950s.

At the competent hands of “Mad Men” costume designer, Janie Bryant, Stone said the show is both historically accurate and yet current in its costuming, something not usually so well accomplished, he said. Stone knows — he worked at Carol & Co. in Beverly Hills for 10 years helping design wardrobes for TV and movies of all genres, including “Law and Order,” “Picket Fences” and “Frasier.”

Today, Stone said he is seeing a culture of men emerge who, contrary to the popular notion that they might emulate their fathers, actually rebel against their dads’ drab and oft sloppy style. Casual Fridays, Stone said, gave many men the mindset that comfortable Dockers and polo shirts are always stylish. The standard casual Friday uniform set a standard for many older men’s wardrobes that their sons are not interested in adopting.

When it comes to clothing, Stone said, these guys want to “get dressed.”

“These young guys are dressing far better than their fathers did.”

In the 1960s, the trend toward slim fitting menswear was partly due to the growing popularity of exercise, Stone said. Just as they do now, men wanted to show off their trim physiques with clothes that accentuated them. However, don’t confuse terms such as slim-fitting to mean that you must be slim to fit them. With proper tailoring, almost any man can rock the “Mad Men” style.

BANANA REPUBLIC BRINGS BACK ‘MAD MEN’ LINE Banana Republic will bring back its popular “Mad Men” Capsule line for spring.

The upcoming Season 5 premiere of “Mad Men” has prompted Banana Republic to bring back the line, which originally was launched in August 2011 as a fall line.

The Capsule line for spring launches March 1 at North American locations.

The line takes inspiration from country club scenes featured in the series. “Mad Men” costume designer

Janie Bryant collaborated with Banana Republic for the line that features more than 40 pieces of apparel and jewelry that embody the 1960s.

The menswear from the collection includes bright polos, checked woven shirts, argyle vests and a lightweight navy blazer. The women’s collection features ladylike pieces in bright, bold colors and sophisticated dresses in graphic florals and solids.

G GETTING ETTIN NG G DRESSED DR RES RE EES S S EED D THE ‘MAD MEN’ WAY At Spencer Stone Company, manager Lucas Westendorf helps modern men achieve the classic elegance of JFK — that’s even what he calls “the look.”

He gives pointers on the finer points of the style.

A pocket square should peek out of the breast pocket of a man’s suit jacket with between one-half and onequarter of an inch showing, making a neat line across the pocket. The same amount of the shirt should show at the neck and sleeve of the suit. “This creates a visual balance,” Westendorf said. “Most people won’t recognize it but will know you look good.”

On a two button suit jacket, only the top button should be buttoned. Unbutton it when you are seated. If wearing a tie bar, make sure it is attached not only to the tie but also to the shirt to keep it in place. A tie bar also performs the function of keeping your tie at the perfect level. Attach it at the base of your chest for a manly silhouette and push the tie up a bit toward the knot to add a little definition to the look.

When the man of the ’60s came home from work, just like Mr. Rogers, he would trade his suit jacket for a comfortable cardigan sweater (top and bottom buttons should be open), a less dressy cotton tie and oxford shirt and sometimes a different pair of slacks and shoes. “Everything would still be very professional, very serious, in case people stopped by.”

On the weekend, a pair of trim khaki pants belted with a colorful ribbon belt topped with a nautical T-shirt or a light chambray shirt would be perfect for a day at the beach. Add a bomber or barracuda jacket for warmth and an extra punch of style.
