Those crazy 60's ...

Brother James sung the praises of Mad Men last week
So Shirley and I found it on "On Demand" and did marathon watch ... 13 episodes over Sat/Sun. (48 min each)

I will note that the sets/costumes are spot on 1960.
Up for some Emmys ... suspect they'll win

Smoking, Drinking, Writing, Womanizing, Smoking, Drinking... - Mad Men - Television - NYTimes.com

Full of prejudice and sexism... seems to have been typical of the day.

But some of the women just couldn't stand it ...

Evelyn Mchale by Robert Wiles

Actually the suicide was Mayday 1947
Evelyn McHale leapt to her death from the observation deck of the Empire State Building
