From Basketcase SmilerG:
In The Grown Ups, Peggy tells Don that her roommate invited others in their building over, to write condolence letters to Jackie Kennedy.
Turns out, lots of people really did write such letters and thousands of them wound up at the JFK Library. Now there’s a book containing many of them.
Smiler also sent us this link to an article that opens “It was Mad Men meets Flash Gordon.”
