...orchestra instead of a jazz band? Yes. The most difficult thing is that we play two different languages. It's really difficult to orchestrate and to know what will get what effect out of the orchestra. I'm continuing to work on it because I'm a great fan of classical music. I've played a lot of it. I grew up listening to it. But that's very different from writing it. (Read "Wynton Marsalis: Horns of Plenty...

...civilized until it comes to meals; then they gobble feverishly and without restraint. Kylie is a loyal sidekick but not the brightest opossum in all the land; when confused, his eyes transform into dazed little bull's eyes. A beagle with a case of "chronic rabies" is used to great effect, and Boggis (Robin Hurlstone), Bunce (Hugo Guinness) and Bean (Michael Gambon) are brilliantly realized.

Certainly, the parallels between Don Draper’s time and ours are unavoidable. There is the new, handsome, and inspirational President and the overwhelming sense of great change (and potentially, calamity) on the horizon. Direct comparisons fall short, however, if signaled by nothing more than the tragedy of President Kennedy’s assassination. With his death it becomes clear that although we do not know how the lives of Mad Men’s characters will turn out, we are, relatively speaking, omniscient to the impending historical events that will undoubtedly shape their lives, quite the opposite from...
