Mary Pinchot Meyer, 1920-1964, was a Washington DC socialite, painter, former wife of CIA official Cord Meyer and close friend of US president John F. Kennedy who was noted for her great beauty and social skills. Meyer's murder two days before her 44th birthday in the Georgetown neighbourhood of Washington D.C. during the fall of 1964 would later stir speculation relating to Kennedy's presidency and assassination. Nina Burleigh in her 1998 biography wrote, "Mary Meyer was an enigmatic woman in life, and in death her real personality lurks just out of view." <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Pinchot_Meyer" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Pinchot_Meyer</a> - here's another link with some more background about Meyer, JFK, CIA, etc. ... <a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKmeyerM.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKmeyerM.ht...</a> - here's a link from my LiveJournal, back in July, about Meyer & JFK ... <a href="http://funnygurusdca.livejournal.com/1458607.html" rel="nofollow">http://funnygurusdca.livejournal.com/1458607.html</a> ["I'm Jack Kennedy.

Course, in Oct. of '64, JFK's mistress would be found dead after jogging on the C&O towpath in DC, the victim, according to official reports, of a robber. She is reported to have had a diary that included info on JFK. Wonder if Weiner will draw a parallel.

He won the Medal of Honor, and his regiment, the Maine 20th, held and then broke the Confederate line at the Battle of Gettysburg. This is important because the "I Have a Dream" Speech and over civil rights references are continuations of the same struggle....

In the season 1 ep Ladies Room, Don shot down Paul's space age ad for Right Guard, "Who is this man who flies around and pees in his pants?" "Bring it back down to Earth", and S2 "The Jet Set" while at the aerospace convention (the confluence of the Space Age and the Cold War), Don is clearly uneasy, and escapes to sunny Palm Springs. Also recall, he immediately suffers from heatstroke, not used to the California sunshine.
