Don Draper is one of the most interesting/unique protagonists of any TV series.
I love this series. So rich with character development and storylines.
I always want a bourbon neat and a cigarette when I watch a Mad Men episode.
This episode takes place in 1960. Mad Men spans 10.5 years from 1960 to 1970.
The Korean War (1950-1953) took place between World War II and the Vietnam War. US military intervention in Vietnam didn't really get going until 1965.
