This week Mad Men got to the topic we knew was coming: Kennedy’s assassination. It consumed much of the episode, as it did every American’s life that day, during the following weeks, and even now.
Out of respect for America’s last true hero leader we’re skipping the chat about advertising and asking readers to spend a few minutes contemplating America pre- and post-Kennedy. What was America like before JFK shared his light with us? How did he change it? And what might have happened if the young president had lived?
Mr. President, we were not yet born when your life was abruptly ended, but we feel your energy still. Thank you for everything you did, for everything you gave.
