A bit of trivia that some folks might find interesting (and I apologize if someone has beat me to it):  Zajac's last name.  It's an Eastern European name, and some variation of this word exist in all languages in that region.  "Zajac" (or any other spelling version of "ZA-yats") means "hare" — an animal traditionally…

The curious thing is, it's not that Heinz doesn't like Peggy's pitch — he doesn't like Peggy.  Personally.  And it's not really about her gender, at least not entirely; age, I think, is the more important factor.  The Heinz guy is a condescending prick who is into generational one-upmanship.  That's why we had that…

Well, unfortunately, that's how the midcentury-style division of labor along gender lines works.  Pete has a traditional marriage; his wife does not work outside the home.  In such an arrangement, the wife is confined to the domestic sphere.  Her reward for having such a confined life is actually running that sphere.…
