Looks like Peggy is trying out all the tools in her toolbox... And Duck is now Ducky Lucky....

And what's Betty up to with that guy? It seems there's a past between them?

Those kids give Don some pills, "reds" and the young girls says they are phenobarbital, for her fathers heart. I thought reds were secobarbital? Or maybe they were quaaludes?

Last night, when that advisor to Gov. Rockefeller says to Betty, setting up iced tea at Swenson's (and God knows what else; stay tuned), "Is 3 o'clock too late for you?" She says, "No. I'll make it work."

"I'll make it work" sure sounds like a relatively current phrase, not something from the Sixties. Wouldntcha say?

I think the Vietnam draft began in 1969, so why was the hitchhiking teen heading off to Canada to avoid something that wouldn't begin for another six years? It's supposed to be July 1963, right? How did the writers manage to screw that one up?

When Cooper goes into Draper's office with the contract and said to Don that you would say I know something about you, it seemed like blackmail. And because he has been portrayed as a believer in the beliefs of Ayn Rand, it just didn't match with his character doing this to Draper.

To Whatever:

JFK started sending advisors, and then troops to Vietnam during his term in office.

Also, Gov Rockefeller's advisor could not have lived in Mount Salem, NY. There is no such place in Westchester County. There is a Salem, NY (N & S) and a Mt. Kisco, NY.

This is surprising for a show that focuses on such detail!

Whatever -

The writers didn't screw it up. The draft was in place from 1940, shortly before the U.S. entered WWII in 1941 until 1973 when the U.S. went to an all-volunteer service.

In 1969, they changed the draft to a lottery system by date of birth. In so doing, they rid the system of a lot of deferments and preferential treatment by local draft boards. This addressed one of the big complaints at the time - only poor people, black and white, were getting drafted while rich kids went off to college.

Remember, Elvis was drafted in '59. Cassius Clay (Muhammed Ali) was drafted and chose to refuse induction on religious grounds in 1967. He ultimately won but it had to go to the Supreme Court where in 1971 they ruled he was a Muslim minister not a professional boxer as his draft board said. The heavyweight champion at the time was banned from boxing for three years after his conviction for draft evasion.
