Quote of the Day (Time Magazine, on ‘Mad Men’s’ Don and Peggy)
“Peggy and Don are opposites, and they’re soul
mates; you can’t really understand one without the other. The show’s opening
credits show us the Saul Bass-like silhouette of a man who looks a lot like Don
falling from an office tower. But if his descent is half the story of Mad Men, Peggy’s ascent is the other
half. Her elevator is going up, his is going down, yet they’re more alike than
anyone on the show, creatively driven, stubborn, secretive. They’re the Janus
face of Mad Men, he looking toward
his past, she toward our future.”—James Poniewozik,
