Thanks, Karl — have really hated the lack of time I've had to spend here in recent days. I'm missing too much interesting stuff.

I am implying that there is cultural meaning in our choice of words, however subconscious or unintended, and that we cannot change the cultural without paying attention to these things.

"Yet, I cannot help but feel itâ€™s important to see and note these remarks, even when subsequently corrected. "

WHAT?!?! It's a fictional character! Are you implying that there's some sinister or secretive agenda to this writer's wording?

Te-Nishi Coates at the Atlantic has a great post on the rape scene & another on Passing, titled "the Negro Don Draper." "He is Gatsby and Anatole Broyard."

(I sent this first as an email, but it bounced back).

The LA Times article is very good. In re-watching the episode, the Don/Peggy scene when Don returns to the office has some lovely acting by Elizabeth Moss. Peggy’s so very pleased to get Don’s notice of, not only the change in her appearance, but her new status in the office.

I can’t wait for Season 3.
