No argument from me.

Abortions often took place on kitchen tables, and, apparently, in barns. And is there ever a "front alley"?

It may never be fully revealed, but I believe Betty is a victim of sexual abuse for sure, and possibly by a family member. And Sally's line about abortions in barns and how Betty regressed at the farm in "Field Day" makes one wonder.

"Soylent Green is people!" is a good second choice.

"I want MY cigarettes!!!!!"

The Stonewall Riots were in June, which was roughly the time frame (late-May, early-June) for this episode.

Nobody in advertising knows about this anti-tobacco strategy except for Don. And he knows how to counter it.

This was likely late May or early June 1969. There was no talk about the moon landing, and the kids were still in school based on Betty's comment about the house help working with Bobby on his homework. And Sally was still in school.

Stephanie said she knew ALL of Don's secrets. Imagine another woman telling you're wife that. Or if you're a married woman, another woman telling you that about your husband. You don't have to be all that insecure for a statement like that to give you pause for thought.

Betty as a child is not a reflection of her intellect; it's a reflection of her psychological issues. I had commented how, in "Field Trip", on the field trip she regressed from cool mom, to teenager, to plucky little girl, but even before that, in her conversation with Francine, Francine called her "Betty Draper", and

Dylan has never stopped being cool.

He's likely Dominican or Puerto Rican.

"Every character in this episode keeps turning to Don, expecting him to
act like a protagonist, but he’s been relegated to supporting character
land".

And making him listen to a bunch of unfunny ad-libs.

Casey Stengel, along with Don Grant (the Mets' GM), and the Whitneys (owners) were racists on par with Bert Cooper. One of Casey's (The Ol' Perfesser's) memorable lines "When they finally get me a ni**er (catcher Choo Choo Coleman), they get me the one that can't run". Don Draper's no Casey Stengel.

Bert's a big fan of Ms. Rand.

Make it a little more surreal, and it's "Green Acres".

Fuck the pennant, that's still the same couch they laid Lane on after they cut him down.

With the exception of CICS, which may not have been developed by 1969, it wasn't really possible to buy software of any kind other than the operating systems that came with the machines; everything else had to be developed in-house. Programs written on a Burroughs or a UNIVAC still wouldn't run on an IBM, but what you

The previous ep was set in the last week of March, and Don had been back in his office for three weeks, so this roughly mid or late April.
