...fact, it's something very different, and beautiful. It's true that Mad Men, which with FX's Damages is the first basic-cable drama to have been nominated for a Best Drama Emmy, is deliciously curated, from the omnipresent cigarettes to the rocket-cone brassieres (and casual sexism) to the cool modernist sets. But the subtle, deliberately paced drama has a wider sense of history. Don is not defined by his time.

But until seasonal forecasts like Colorado State's become more consistent, the best we can do during Hurricane Preparedness Week is just accept...
