GOODBYE DON. GOODBYE PEGGY. GOODBYE MAD MEN

Sunday night the final season of the Mad Men television series began--to lukewarm praise by The New York Times. To a guy who was there the series illuminated the period of the 1960s but always missed being on target when it came to office drinking (overdone), to the rise of women in the industry (underdone), and the true significance of the breakthrough advertising of the time. It finally found its rhythm in the marital ups and downs of its major characters. Goodbye, ladies and gentlemen. Nice try. Sleep well.
