“New Politics, Ahoy”
Illustration for New York Times Op-Ed page.
Sandwiched between Maureen Dowd and Thomas Friedman where I’ve always belonged. That’s right. I’m high-brow now, playas. Special thanks to Matt Dorfman, op-ed art-director for the Times.
It’s on-line too for you digital folks.
Mad Men Season Spoilers
Betty Draper - Season 18
Beauty fades, but obsession with one’s beauty intensifies. Which means Betty’s fixations are now off the charts. She and Henry Francis maintain a chilly peace based on Waspy non-confrontation, her children — damaged, embittered, constantly dealing with feelings of inadequacy — are grown and gone, and since Polly the pooch died, there’s no one to absorb Betty’s putdowns and petulance. Hmmm, what is Glen Bishop up to these days?

Don Draper - Season 11
Metabolism: It’s a hell of a thing, especially for a guy who now likes his french toast with rum and syrup. Don’s was bound to catch up with him eventually, and now that it has, well, he’s glad those on-trend polyester suits have some stretch. No one else will be glad, but he will. Don already had a “Me decade” during the ’60s, so by the time the rest of America catches up, his once-magic touch with “those who think young” has burned itself out — which is why he still relies on the constant stream of nubile secretaries to keep him up-to-date on the latest fads.
