So what's the percentage breakdown among the partners now?  Where does Joan stand, comparatively, with her five percent?

I don't think it was necessarily because Sal was gay.  Don had caught him with a random bell hop, and so he assumed Sal was promiscuous.  That's what the whole "depends on the girl" line was about; he figured if Sal was already sleeping around, he could have gone to bed with Garner.  It's still incredibly backwards,…

"Advertising is a very small world. And when you do something like malign the reputation of some girl from the steno pool on her first day, you make it even smaller. Keep it up and even if you do get my job, you'll never run this place. You'll die in that corner office: a mid-level account executive with a little bit…

It's okay.  The route you took might be embarrassing, but it's the destination that counts.  Steed & Peel is a remarkably apt comparison for Don and Joan—a pair of consummate professionals whose sexual tension was somehow simultaneously muted and scorching.  It wouldn't be hard to imagine Don showing up at Joan's…

In terms of the training, Joan may be used to secretaries coming from secretarial schools, where women were trained under the old guard regime from which Joan came.  I don't know when the shift occurred, but I know that most secretaries these days don't come from such schools, so maybe by 1967, people like Meredith…
