...though change--beatniks, integration, feminism--percolates at the edges, Mad Men is mainly about people who stand outside that change. The early '60s was a time of creative ferment in the ad industry, but Don and his old-school ad shop, Sterling Cooper, resist the trendy smirkiness of the revolutionary Volkswagen "Think Small" ads of the period. "There has to be advertising for people who don't have a sense of humor," he scolds an underling. In Season 1, Sterling Cooper got involved in the 1960 election. It backed Nixon...
...intimate betrayal--secretly getting reports from her psychiatrist on her therapy sessions. (She used a session on the couch to relay a message to Don that she knew about his skirt-chasing.) His former secretary, Peggy (Elisabeth Moss), is climbing the ladder as a rare female copywriter at Sterling Cooper, but at the cost of having given away her out-of-wedlock baby. The daddy, Pete (Vincent Kartheiser)--a weaselly rich boy who tried to blackmail Don into promoting him after learning the truth about his past--is suffering the apparent karmic payback of being unable to conceive with...
...Immediately after Clinton's September speech, a Washington Post poll showed the public approved his ideas 56% to 24%. A follow-up survey last week found the spread is 51% to 39%.

For Pelosi, the potential for trouble at her Q&A session at the Austin Convention Center was everywhere. Codepink, an anti-war group organized by women, had its activists, some clad with pink spandex, capes and masks, lined up in front of the entrance, chanting slogans about impeachment. Several members of the audience, which numbered about 2,000, stood, waving copies...
...Cedar Rapids, Robby Cooper, 22, a legal assistant, calls the $21,000 he received after filing a FEMA claim for his home and belongings "pretty good help," adding, "It's bought me quite a bit of time to figure out what I'm going to do." But Tom Slaymaker, who has a back ailment and is unemployed, says he has received only $1,200 and hopes for more. The family not only lost the rental home where they lived but another home they own (and were on the verge of selling, Slaymaker says). They did not have renters or flood...
